Pros
I’ve been reading a-lot of reviews left on here and believe there are some disgruntled ex employees that are making things at Vangst seem much worse than the company really is. I’ve been at the company for around 2 years and have seen a-lot during that time. It’s important to remember it is a STARTUP which means there are going to be ups and downs. The industry we work in is also crazy and that means we have to deal with different challenges than a normal recruiting company. Vangst has grown a-lot during my time here and it’s been awesome to see the company break through so many challenges Vangst is the one of the best companies I’ve worked for. It’s not perfect but every experience (good/bad) I’ve had has made me a stronger professional.. There has been a-lot of internal growth in the company and most of the management team was promoted from within which gives team members something to strive for. Pros… -Competitive pay -Room for growth -CEO is available -CEO is transparent -Cannabis training -Invested in the team -Team retreat #campvangst -Values hard work -Most of the leaders are women -People are very responsive on slack if you need anything -Not a clock in/clock out culture -Awesome people
Cons
The turnover people mention is because people don’t hit their goals and there have been a few bad eggs (alcoholic, wrong person for the role) on the team who are vocal and it’s not because the company is toxic. I think a-lot of people on this app try to find a reason to vocalize their frustration instead of owning up to the real reason they’re not with the company anymore. Cons… -Changes in some management -Increased revenue goals every year and goals can be hard to hit -Not a place for lazy people -No 401 k matches -No cell phone reimbursement -Bad hiring decisions in sales and recruiting
