Pros

• Pay and benefits are reasonable compared to local market. • Some coworkers were supportive and professional.

Cons

• Direct management in the VB Metrics and Reporting was abusive, retaliatory, and manipulative — creating a hostile environment marked by gaslighting, sabotage, and dishonesty. • The manager lacked the professional qualifications of her own team (only a high school diploma, while many of us had bachelor’s or master’s degrees), yet consistently undermined and threw employees under the bus to protect her position. • Speaking up or requesting resources often led to retaliation; innovation was discouraged despite constant claims of “forward thinking.” • Leadership and HR consistently protected toxic managers rather than supporting employees, leaving staff vulnerable. • Training and career development were obstructed, and performance was misrepresented to fit management’s agenda. • The company hides a toxic, fear-based culture behind flashy marketing about how “great” it is to work there.
