Pros

I started with Vangst as a recruiter, and am now a Strategic Account Manager, and I can very confidently say that if you come in and perform, you will 100% find many opportunities to grow. A generous compensation plan (which includes quarterly bonuses for doubling your goal - something that is absolutely doable) allows for you to earn a six figure OTE, something I had not accomplished before my time at Vangst. The company is a start-up, so there are lots of opportunities to carve out your own space and develop new areas of value for the organization. You are given a lot of autonomy and freedom when it comes to how you're structuring your day. The idea is that everyone works differently, so as long as you have some sort of structure that works for you, why try and change something that's working. If you're struggling, though, your structure may be tweaked by management to try and generate some activity, but never in a "micro-managey" sort of way. Unlimited PTO and the ability to have a flexible schedule is great. There are regular company happy hours, and a general sense of inclusivity among the employees. Many have become friends through the company, and hang out regularly outside of work. Company provides laptops for their employees as well!

Cons

The double-edged sword of a start-up company: You will have tremendous opportunity for growth and there are rewards, but you're flying the plane as it is being built. Essentially, you need to be on board with a very high degree of flexibility and adaptability when it comes to processes. If you're not someone who can function in an environment where there aren't established SOPs for every situation, this probably isn't the company for you. Again, though, that is how it goes with start-ups and is not a reflection of Vangst in particular.

Pros

Joining Vangst through an acquisition last year has been one of the most exciting and rewarding transitions of my career. From the start, the integration process was smooth, supportive, and intentional. Over the past year, we’ve seen incredible growth — not just in revenue and client base, but in our internal development as a team. We've expanded into new markets, launched new service offerings, and built out a stronger infrastructure that allows us to serve our partners and candidates more effectively than ever before. The pace of growth has been fast, but with it has come so much opportunity. The best part of working here, without question, is the people. This team is made up of passionate, driven, and genuinely kind individuals who care deeply about their work and about each other. There’s a strong sense of purpose and collaboration that makes every challenge feel worth it — and every win feel like a team effort.

Cons

It’s that with so much opportunity, it’s hard to say no! The energy here is contagious, and it’s easy to find yourself raising your hand for more — but that’s also what makes it such an exciting place to grow.

Pros

Paychecks were on time that’s it.

Cons

I had a very negative experience with Vangst Staffing under the management of Dan Hutchinson. The work environment is plagued by favoritism and discriminatory practices, and if you don’t “suck up” to certain supervisors, you risk being ostracized. On top of that, I was underpaid for my work. When I reported the issue, I was finally paid what I was owed—but shortly after, I was terminated with no reason at all. This shows a clear lack of fairness, integrity, and accountability. I would strongly caution anyone considering working with Vangst to be aware of these issues.
