Pros

Culture here is great, fun team and laid back. Fun team outings. If you’re looking for a great place to have fun this is it but you won’t make a ton of money here.

Cons

Commission structure isn’t very good. There are better structures at other firms. Not a lot of people know who Vaco is here in Denver so it’s hard to get business here. Basically a start up here in Denver still. No book of clients given once you start like other firms. No 401k match until your 2nd year and it’s not that great. Really hard to make decent money here. Not a lot of upward mobility.

Pros

They reached out to me. Followed up with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Cons

None. The assignment is region specific but that has nothing to do with Vaco

Pros

Vaco placed me in an IT Governance/Architecture contract role at $xxx/hour and was hands-on throughout the entire process. They guided me through every stage of the interview, provided great prep, and kept communication tight. If you’re a senior tech professional looking for high-value contract placements, I’d highly recommend working with them. They’re responsive, professional, and clearly invested in your success — not just filling a seat.

Cons

None I can Think of
