Thanks for your review, and we're glad to hear that you appreciate both remote work and how friendly the individuals who work at VF are! We are definitely a smaller organization (100-ish headcount), so it is likely for many hats to be worn as you say. We will continue to review ways to recognize and reward these efforts, though! If you have any specific suggestions we would love to hear from you at hr@verifiedfirst.com. Thanks!

Toxic work environment.

Pros

Potential growth to be in a couple of years.

Cons

Terrible place to work with. Gave me an ultimatum by the second week that I need to start working 60+ hours. Had a meeting with the CFO where he went on a rant talking about how people in New York regularly work 80+ hours. He was specifically referring to stock traders. Overall their culture is to work hard and maybe you will be somewhere in a couple of years.

Thanks for leaving the review, but what a bummer to read! Giving someone an ultimatum doesn't sound like something we do at Verified First, and we don't think our Glassdoor rating would be as high as it is if we did! There are times when the job performance doesn't match the expectations for the role. If someone is under-performing then they have to work even harder, often in the means of more hours, to get caught up. The role you have listed yourself as has been proven by past employees to be completed in a 40-hour workweek. One thing we can agree on is that hard work and strong job performance is definitely rewarded with promotion and growth opportunities for our employees - but often much sooner than a couple of years!
