Pros

Working at VIGILINT offers numerous advantages, including an outstanding benefits package. The employer covers the cost of benefits, there is ample PTO, and there is flexibility to take time off as needed. Additionally, I have the ability to adjust my schedule by working more hours on certain days to accommodate time off on others. One of the most valuable aspects of VIGILINT is the open feedback culture. I can provide honest feedback to supervisors without fear of retaliation. Contrary to some reviews, I have always felt that my candid opinions were welcomed and respected. Even during periods when I struggled to find my footing, I was treated with respect and understanding. At VIGILINT, I am entrusted with my responsibilities and expected to complete my tasks without being micromanaged. There is no strict requirement to be at my desk from 9-5, as long as I ensure my work is done. This level of trust and autonomy is highly appreciated and fosters a positive work environment.

Cons

I have worked in various industries, most recently as a nurse. During my career, I have experienced some of the most challenging work environments, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. When I found VIGILINT, I was searching for a new start, which I found here. Although my initial interview opportunity came through a connection in management, I still had to interview and prove my capabilities. Over the past four years at VIGILINT, my journey has not always been easy, but it has been rewarding. I have read reviews suggesting that only friends and family of management are treated with respect, but my experience has been different. I have had to earn my position through hard work and dedication. Any pay increases I have received were deserved and not a result of favoritism. In fact, it often felt more challenging to receive recognition to avoid any perception of favoritism. Is every day perfect at VIGILINT? No, but I see a company committed to trying to do things differently. Management is often busy, and it can sometimes be difficult to get immediate responses due to the demanding nature of their roles. However, I have observed continuous efforts to improve. Management acknowledges their faults and actively works on solutions. I have witnessed genuine care for employees, with management going above and beyond to support those facing difficult times. These acts of kindness are done privately, without seeking accolades or approval. This approach speaks volumes about their integrity and dedication to their team. In turn, when complaints have been made about employees internally, they are always addressed and actioned with respect to all parties involved. There are no public reprimands; issues are handled privately with a plan for remediation. I have watched management take an employee who should have been fired many times over and move them to other positions in hopes of them finding their way.

Pros

Co-workers are amazing. The people who work for VIGILINT are smart, funny, and make work great. Bosses are flexible and easy. Hours are good, with the ability to flex hours when needed. Good office vibes, lots of meals and lunches out. Great support to coworkers during times of need. Employer paid healthcare with an excellent plan. Really cool business, unique and exciting. Not your run of the mill office.

Cons

The trust given to you/not being micromanaged, sometimes makes it hard to get an answer from admin when you need a direct yes/no or input. Their busy schedules make communication difficult at times. Not a lot of room for growth/salary increases.

Pros

There are no pros unfortunately.

Cons

Management: There is no direction at this company, leadership and management have little to no business experience which can be seen due to the negligence of creating SOP that hinders daily tasks and implementation of new SOPs without them being tested before hand. Culture: The culture is full of intimidation and sexism. If your opinion doesn’t match that of the CEO, COO, and management your job security will be threatened until you comply or until you are fired. Communication and Delusional leadership: Since there is little to no communication inside this company no one ever knows what is going on including the CEO, it’s frustrating because in trying to do your job engaging clients they were promised and sold a product that we can’t provide so you have to stay on your toes due misinformation. Career momentum: There is no growth within the company.
