Pros

The people. Flexibility to work from home during COVID. The culture.

Cons

Growing pains. Acquisitions means more products or people to support and no additional support staff. Favoritism. When over time hours in a quarter are greater than all the PTO/holidays in a year. Really don't count PTO as a benefit at this point. Managers that have no business being managers. VPs making fun of employees in meetings.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We carefully consider all reviews to see where we can improve and continue to make Vector Solutions a great place to work. Our team members are our greatest assets. That’s why we pride ourselves on nurturing a company culture that supports and engages our employees, whether that’s through potlucks and events in the office or through flexible work arrangements and surprise swag care packages during a pandemic. We are glad to hear that you are staying connected to your teammates and our company as we continue our remote working environment. As you know, Vector took steps at the end of 2020 to adjust our PTO policy, increasing the amount of carryover PTO as well as extending the timeframe to use those carryover hours. Additionally, we announced that we would use employee feedback to consider and implement a revised PTO policy in 2021 that we believe will support overall employee wellness and provide a more well-rounded work-life balance. We look forward to sharing that with the company in the coming weeks. It is true that Vector has experienced tremendous growth within a short time-span, nearly doubling our company size and significantly expanding our product and solution offerings. While the pandemic forced us to temporarily slow our hiring plans, we now have new team members joining nearly every week and are actively recruiting top talent across many departments. If there are any specific concerns you would like to discuss with HR, please reach out to HR@vectorsolutions.com and a member of the HR team will respond to your request.

Pros

It's a job and some of the people are great, remote/hybrid work for some employees

Cons

There is literally zero incentive to work hard or even try above the bare minimum. No real career paths or progression, no bonuses, nothing. Individual goals mean nothing and do not connect to larger company goals. Leadership is feckless and has to revisit the same decision constantly or has to make a decision involving way more people than necessary which means the final decision is bloated and difficult to operationalize. The company goals are not clear at all so work priorities constantly shift to whatever leadership has most recently decided, through a committee, is most important. There is basically nothing in terms of company culture. People don't talk to each other about anything. There is no fun in Teams channels. This probably stems from all of the above, that people do not feel at all connected to the company because they know they are not going to get anything out of it. Oh, and the benefits are abysmal.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re sorry this has been your experience, and we take comments like this seriously. Vector is a mission-driven company serving customers in critical industries, including public safety, education, industrial, government, healthcare, and other organizations that rely on our technology to help make people safer, smarter, and better prepared. We are proud of that work and of the team members who support it every day. Vector has implemented many positive changes over the years based directly on team member feedback, and we continue to welcome input across all areas of the business. We recognize that benefits, career growth, priorities, and culture can be experienced differently by different people. We do offer a comprehensive benefits program that includes health coverage, 401k support, flexible paid time off, wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and other resources; Growth Pathways to help team members understand career progression; and companywide initiatives such as Team Member Appreciation Week, Vector Volunteer Week, holiday events, and special commemorations to help build connection and culture. We also understand the concern around shifting priorities. Like many companies, Vector operates in an ever-changing economic landscape. As market needs evolve, we have to evaluate and adjust priorities to keep the business growing, serve our customers well, and support the team members who drive our success. We will not dismiss feedback simply because it is difficult to read. We have meaningful work, a strong team, and a lot to be proud of, but we also have work to do. We appreciate your perspective and will continue working to make Vector a better place to build a career.
