Pros

Hearing a veteran tell you they received a disability increase was very fulfilling, some co-workers are actually good people.

Cons

In the department I was a part of, team leads were absolutely CLUELESS. The manager was downright awful to people if she didn't like you. If you were on her good side you were seen as a favorite and you wouldn't get in trouble for the simple things everyone else got written up for. The manager was always telling employees to not gossip but she was the biggest gossiper of the entire department. There were plenty of times I'd overhear the manager talking about other employees personal issues openly like it was no big deal. When the company hires you they tell you that you will get a pay increase after 90 days so long as you were in good standing. Conveniently enough, most of these new hires would get a write up just before their 90 days. I guess this is how they keep themselves from having to spend more money on employees. Management and "team leads" are never at their desk. You can literally walk around the entire building looking for them to only find them outside on a "smoke break." Mind you, employees are made to clock out for 15 min (paid) breaks yet management and leads are not expected to be at their desks at all times. Do NOT apply to work for this company, they will not treat you well unless you "play the game" and office politics is just NOT IT. Please, just run from this place.

Veterans Guardian Response

We appreciate your feedback. The veteran clients that we serve deserve the best support from all of our employees so expectations have been set high. We provide in depth training and continuing education so all employees have the tools that are necessary to do the best at their jobs. Process improvement can not only make the clients experience better but the employees as well and ideas to improve processes are considered if expressed to management. The purpose of 90 day reviews are to evaluate the following metrics; performance, attendance, teamwork, tenure, and contributions attendance. Raises are given at many different points in an employee's tenure and are not specific to the 90 day review period. Any claim of unethical behavior by an employee is taken seriously and immediately investigated by HR and handled in accordance with the rules outlined in the employee handbook.

Pros

Everything.....I love this company more than any other I have worked for. I have been working various industries since I was 15 and I am now 45 so 30 years in the work force and this company surprises me in a good day every single day I come into work. The training, the open communication, it feels like you are visiting with friends and family every work day. How they help so many veterans is such a great feeling. I love VG

Cons

Only con I have had so far is a few people they hired around the same time as me,but that is something they have no control over.

Pros

I mean, you get paid.

Cons

Toxic leadership. Be careful working here, there are people that will always be protected and you’re probably not one of them. One day the truth will come out.
