Pros

Met some really great people, allowed me to expand professionally and personally. Generally supportive of you stepping outside your comfort zone and trying new things.

Cons

Lots of turnover, sometimes sudden shifts in direction that cause work to be upended. Lots of questions about a way forward leave a lot of leadership changes.

Working at vAuto is very much like going back to high school. A lot of drama, gossip and most Importantly, favoritism.

Good Company to work for it you're on the right team.

Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited PTO was just added and depending on your manager you are able to work remotely some.

Cons

No real job security. They have layoffs every year. No loyalty or commitment to their employees, it is all about their bottom line. For a company this big they should have better insurance. The insurance is not good and it is a little pricey. All teams are not treated equally. Some teams seem to have unlimited budgets and their team members are given opportunities for advanced training while others are not given opportunities for learning. Poor communication and unqualified upper management in some areas.
