Pros

Lots of opportunity for growth. If you can activate, advocate for yourself, welcome feedback and grow from it, VF will absolutely use your skills and abilities and promote you to roles you qualify for or can grow into. Ask for it, and you will get it. If you ask for additional tools to better yourself and your skillset, in the very least VF seriously considers giving you the bandwidth and budget to pursue these (industry certification credentials, webinars, industry training, etc).

Cons

Some leaders seem to be much more strategically aware of changes/attitudes in the workforce than others. Others don't realize there is a problem until qualified employees are quitting. Only higher up/salaried employees get sick leave or they accrue paid time off at a higher rate to allow for sick time.

First and foremost, we are so happy to have you as a part of our team! We are glad to hear that you are able to grow here and are encouraging others to do the same. We really do want to see our team get stronger in their skills and abilities and pursue the next steps in their careers here at VF. Salaried employees do accrue PTO at a higher rate than hourly employees do, as the amount of hours worked to complete the job are often more demanding. In addition, we did adjust our PTO accruals at the beginning of this year to allow all of our employees more time to use however they most need it. We strive to have an open-door policy and we apologize if there are situations that you feel that is not the case. Our goal is to make sure that all employees know they can come to management whenever they need to and they will be heard. We always appreciate feedback, we want to continue to grow as an organization as well! Please feel free to reach out to hr@verifiedfirst.com if you would like to address this more in-depth.

Pros

There are some amazing people at the organization.

Cons

The level or micromanagement is unlike I have ever seen in my career. Only certain employees are allowed laptops so they are forced to work at their desks and good luck working at a conference. You literally have to email all of management and the team your “end of day” including a task list of what you did for the day…because you know they can’t pull a sales report. But they do, that is sent every morning! Additionally they have click tracking software installed on all the sales teams computers. Your phone calls are recorded and sales meetings video recorded. You have ZERO autonomy at this company. Leadership has no trust in their employees. Ironic for a company who attempted to utilize prison labor to cut costs. VF sister company Safety Security ended up in litigation for this exact reason. If you could background screen the company on ethics they would fail. They discriminate against female employees, harassment has been a documented issue that is swept under the rug. Additionally their pay (base/commission) is far below other companies in the market. Six different employees expressed that they were lied to about the commission structure and pay by sales leadership and nothing was ever addressed.
