Pros

Incredible dedication to employees and customers. Bonuses higher than anywhere in the industry- for all employees, not just top management. Now that the next generation of owners has taken over and made significant investments in people and technology, the business is taking on new life and becoming a world class company. One of the most authentic brands in America just waiting to be discovered by millions of new customers.

Cons

Location makes it hard to find top talent in key positions. Could still use more help with technology. Would be nice to have more seasonal employee events and company outings- helps team spirit!

Significant Changes for the Good

Pros

While there have been tough decisions made through the recent recession, management has tried to treat employees fairly. They are very generous with bonuses when the company does well. This year they paid the entire company a double digit bonus. Management has identified areas of improvement to make VCS an even better company for its employees and customers. The family is very supportive and is allowing management to do what they think is right.

Cons

Living in Vermont has its pros and cons and can make it difficult to hire people. VCS sometimes can be too frugal in the short term, hurting the long term benefit.

Pros

Great opportunities for growth through cross function teams. Bonus program is very generous and not many companies offer it to all employees anymore. Work/life balance has kept me at VCS.

Cons

Not a lot of room for upward mobility at the leadership level
