Pros

- The people at VF are outstanding. (from CEO to Helpdesk) - The culture at VF is the best culture I've ever worked for. (Lots of companies use the whole 'family' tag-line to get people to join their company. VF doesn't do that because they don't have to. They show you they care not only through words, but actions) - Also they have a 'Treat yo' self' box every year that comes with a shirt, candle, and a few other fun gifts. - Pay: I've worked 4 corporate IT jobs - they've paid the best out of all of them.

Cons

- Hours can be hit or miss (not a typical Mon-Fri '9-5') -- That also comes with IT though (if XYZ's server dies and Japan can't place orders at 2 AM - you're the frontline) - Not really a Con for me, but you can't be Camera Shy here. There are a lot of meetings (roughly 10-20 hours a week), where camera is expected. Doesn't bother me, but I know it could bother others. (Also just my two-cents: I'd rather have a company wanting to talk more about problems than no communication) - Sometimes the problems can be pretty tricky and convoluted (but once again, that's just IT)

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.
