      The Worst-Stay Away

      Pros

      If you work in sales, this is the company for you; little to no rules or guidelines; loads of freedom to make it your own

      Cons

      If you interview in the operations or IT side of the business, steer clear - it needs to be gutted and rebuilt. Ask about the turnover and then do your research. Toxic, unqualified leadership that are in way over the head.

      Horrible Work Environment

      Pros

      I do not have any

      Cons

      Long hours, bad management, poor treatment and no work life balance. The upper management treats it like a high school and has no respect from most people in the office.

      Best to Make this Job Temporary

      Pros

      Working at Vaco is marginally better than a series of one-year contracts. If your team is eliminated Vaco will have you apply for other contract roles they're providing staffing for. It works a bit like a contract-only job search. You get to work at their client's offices which are often nice in my area and your full time coworkers can often be great. My VACO manager was a decent manager and seemed happy to let the client company manage me. My fellow Vaco contract workers were easy to work with and the office culture was respectful.

      Cons

      VACO abruptly lowered our benefits (which were already low) to below my original offer letter. Holiday pay was affected and the client company wasn't open on the days we were no longer being paid for. The only way to be paid for that time was to work at normal pay rates during the holiday. This effectively reduced our pay by several days worth of hours. While I was there I often felt upper management was trying to pressure us into not asking for raises, benefits, or vacation time. It seemed like a system set up to keep us as permanent low-benefit employees with little opportunity for advancement.
