Pros

VOR's rank and file employees are hard working, dedicated, honest people.

Cons

Seek employment with this company at your own risk. VOR was a great company to work for until 2018. In the last year, five corporate officers have resigned or have been dismissed. During June through August 2018, three significant members of the corporate staff quit and two out of VOR’s three field Directors resigned. Sadly, VOR corporate now fosters a toxic, middle school work environment characterized by bullying and threats of termination. Some of VOR's business practices that recently came to light are unethical at best. For example, VOR has withheld months of payments due to one of its larger subcontractors. At this writing, VOR employees are still waiting for the company to deposit their 401K contributions and the company’s matching funds for July and August 2018. The management also back peddles when it comes time to honor compensation agreements. A sad example of VOR's 2018 harsh and heartless management style was exemplified in August when one of the corporate officers placed an employee on the corporate staff (who had been working for VOR for more than three years) on leave without pay until he agreed to sign an extremely restrictive employment agreement. When the employee finally caved and signed the agreement, he was terminated on the spot. The biggest mystery to many of us who have parted ways with VOR is how the company still manages to make payroll.

Pros

I have worked for VOR from 2018-April 2020 and management has had an improvement in communication over the last year. Assistance with furloughed employees during COVID-19 pandemic has been good

Cons

I have been having some issues with the timesheet system and my PTO hours loading

Pros

The benefits are adequate overall. I believe the top two benefits are a tax-free $50 gas card per month and free food (for those people who work in the Hanover, MD office). The other great thing about this company is that it is close to a large airport, so it’s easy to get to.

Cons

Communication is very, very poor at this company. It is not uncommon to get multiple different messages from the same person on the same subject. The company is very disorganized and operates in a state of confusion. I don’t know of anyone who has a clearly-defined role at VOR, everyone literally does a little of everything (most of the time without other people knowing – which compounds the confusion because the team is stepping on each other’s toes constantly). There is a lot of drama at this company. This company is filled with sets of relatives including the CEO’s fiancé. It feels like many of the family members get these jobs solely based on their relationships with people at the company. With so many people trying to get more power within the company and expand their role, it is nearly impossible to focus on work.
