Operates like a family business, but not in a good way - Project Manager The Vertex Companies Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback. There IS a temptation to consider hiding or eliminating a review with negative commentary, but we believe it's important to respect your feedback. We are genuinely sorry if you felt you had reached out and were not heard, helped, or recognized. Like all companies who are growing, we have been moving quickly at VERTEX. Since joining the company in late 2020, we have worked to implement and promote programs that support our employees, managers and culture. Examples are our manager development program, the career map/career progression program you mention, a market-based compensation package review...not to mention our Lifetime of Learning Program. We are invested in people development from the top down and will continue to adjust and make improvements to our programs and workplace. In regard to risk management, it is an obligation of HR to understand the laws, regulations, and policies and engage accordingly to manage risk and limit liability; it is the same for all senior leadership. As with any business, this is a critical responsibility to protect all employees, the workplace, and organization. While we hear that you feel we fell short in supporting you, we appreciate your candid feedback and years of service. Although you've left the organization, I personally welcome the opportunity to speak with you if you would like to offer additional input. Thank you for taking the time to share. Erin Davies, VP of HR Strategy
