Pros

Good incentives paid to recruiters( if actually paid) and that is about it,

Cons

Horrible Benefits, Candidate ownership guidelines are out of date and limits the success for new employees in the first 6-12 months, ***WILL NOT PAY OUT RIGHTLY EARNED INCENTIVES IF LET GO OR LEAVE COMPANY BEFORE COMMISSION CHECK IS ISSUED*** Management was terrible at communicating and became despondent towards the end of my time there. I was given almost no opportunity to be successful at VanderHouwen

Sorry this opportunity didn't work out for you. Our pay, commission plan and benefits are some of the best in the business. As a result, many of our top performers stay with VHA for a very long time. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Great culture, friendly and professional staff, hard-working, fun atmosphere, benefits, vacation time, quarterly work events, monthly birthday parties, rewarded for hard work, good work-life balance, caring and understanding management.

Can't think of anything. There isn't anything I don't like about working at VanderHouwen. It's a place you come to stay.

Pros

I don't have many nice things to say about this company. The only positive that I can think of is that they invested in many sourcing tools.

Cons

- poor leadership - reluctant to advertise in necessary marketing channels - redundant 8 hour training with little focus - internal politics that drove employees away - lack of support - bad benefits and lower than average wages
