Pros

For most workers in the company, the job is relatively low stress. VPSI had a great Manager's meeting every year when I was there. VPSI gives employees two full weeks off at Christmas and New Years, and that was always very cool.

Cons

When I was at VPSI, the structure of the company lent itselt to a toxic relationship between the office Managers and the Business Development Executives. I started as a Manager and was later promoted to Business Development Executive. Both parties were held accountable for acquiring new business, so it let to a guys from the same company competing for the same customers. The situation led to many hard feelings among the employees. Also, since office Managers were busy competing with the Business Development Executives for business, the customer service for the existing customers suffered. This toxic relationship went on for years and the upper managament never saw it as a problem. It was too bad.

Pros

Good for the environment, economy and the well-being of commuters. Saves money, time and stress for those who have a long commute. Easy, flexible and reliable transportation for the fraction of the cost of commuting alone.

Cons

The communication and fair management practices are lacking. The management in my office was run by "best friends", so it was hard to relate problems or communicate effectively due to the "favoritism" and inequality of assignments. Company was moving away from the "one-on-one" individual attention and excellent customer service it was known for, to all "Sales" vision - with an emphasis on numbers. They were moving away from a "one-stop shop" to 800 numbers and further and further away from the "Personal Touch" of making each customer feel important.
