Pros

Management and leads were easy to work with

Cons

I was working as a vendor at a larger tech company through Vaco and sometimes, though rarely, it seemed like Vaco was unwilling to go to bat for us

Culture is Top Notch

Pros

Vaco lives and breathes by it's core values. The company has fun, is ethical, and recognizes employees for hard work. I've never felt more appreciated by any company.

Cons

the company is growing rapidly so it is ever evolving, but it is a good thing because everyone is on board for the ride. The CEO is transparent and sets a great vision and tone for the organization.

Great culture, commission structure not the best

Executive recruiter

Business Outlook

Pros

Culture here is great, fun team and laid back. Fun team outings. If you’re looking for a great place to have fun this is it but you won’t make a ton of money here.

Cons

Commission structure isn’t very good. There are better structures at other firms. Not a lot of people know who Vaco is here in Denver so it’s hard to get business here. Basically a start up here in Denver still. No book of clients given once you start like other firms. No 401k match until your 2nd year and it’s not that great. Really hard to make decent money here. Not a lot of upward mobility.
