Pros

Work life balance, decent pay

Cons

I tried to convince myself that VG was a good place to work, but ultimately I was disappointed. The mid-level leadership lacks the capability to effectively lead teams, and highly competitive individuals may find the environment unfulfilling.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
