Pros

Friendly work environment, decent health and 401k benefits, flexible work hours.

Cons

I work in Content Production at the Utah branch of Vector Solutions. While my experience working at the company can be fun with the casual and friendly work environment, however, there's sadly little to no upward career momentum, at least in terms of specifically video production — which isn't helped by the fact that the pay is considerably low compared to industry average in the state, even with benefits and swag the company hands out on a recurring basis. If you're placed in a particular position, you're usually stuck there; even when you voice an interest in another position in the department to managers. Company likes to talk big game about quality content, but the Utah branch's tendency to cut corners in production values, as well as responding slow or hesitant to invest more earnestly in resources and manpower (shoots are constantly operating on under-resourced skeleton crews, even pre-COVID) to that end gives the impression of lip-service to said aspirations. Plenty of employees working in the content department in this branch are experienced filmmakers/videographers, but often our feedback to upper management (who on average are not as versed in production) feels neglected. Despite the friendly work staff, it's very clique. Utah is a small branch, but often feels like the step-child compared to its other, larger sister branches, and to HQ in Tampa.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback, and value your talent and contributions to the Content Team as well as to the overall company. Creating quality award-winning content is one of Vector's hallmarks, and creating content in an efficient manner is something we pride ourselves on. We recently implemented an organizational change within our Content department that has aligned teams by function in order to balance our video production efforts and make them as resource-efficient as possible for the future. While the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to reimagine how we currently accomplish our filming events, we are incredibly proud of the work the team has done to deliver high-quality content for our customers, including critical COVID-19 resources. We are optimistic that the changes we are implementing now will help us become even more productive as we are able to safely return to a sense of normalcy. At Vector, we frequently review our salaries, benefits, and career paths for all employees - and are always looking for ways to capture employee feedback so that we can make improvements. Career paths provide our team members a vision into their career at Vector, but we do realize that career progression sometimes does not happen as quickly as some team members would like. Working closely with our HR department, we find that career conversations are an effective and constructive vehicle for understanding where an employee wants to take their career. These conversations are designed to align team member desires with a career path at Vector, and allow employees and managers to discuss both short- and long-term career goals. For the team member that left this comment, As Vector begins the year with our annual performance reviews, we encourage you to continue the conversation with your manager to align on your career expectations. Thank you for being a valued member of the Vector Team.

Pros

It's a job and some of the people are great, remote/hybrid work for some employees

Cons

There is literally zero incentive to work hard or even try above the bare minimum. No real career paths or progression, no bonuses, nothing. Individual goals mean nothing and do not connect to larger company goals. Leadership is feckless and has to revisit the same decision constantly or has to make a decision involving way more people than necessary which means the final decision is bloated and difficult to operationalize. The company goals are not clear at all so work priorities constantly shift to whatever leadership has most recently decided, through a committee, is most important. There is basically nothing in terms of company culture. People don't talk to each other about anything. There is no fun in Teams channels. This probably stems from all of the above, that people do not feel at all connected to the company because they know they are not going to get anything out of it. Oh, and the benefits are abysmal.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re sorry this has been your experience, and we take comments like this seriously. Vector is a mission-driven company serving customers in critical industries, including public safety, education, industrial, government, healthcare, and other organizations that rely on our technology to help make people safer, smarter, and better prepared. We are proud of that work and of the team members who support it every day. Vector has implemented many positive changes over the years based directly on team member feedback, and we continue to welcome input across all areas of the business. We recognize that benefits, career growth, priorities, and culture can be experienced differently by different people. We do offer a comprehensive benefits program that includes health coverage, 401k support, flexible paid time off, wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and other resources; Growth Pathways to help team members understand career progression; and companywide initiatives such as Team Member Appreciation Week, Vector Volunteer Week, holiday events, and special commemorations to help build connection and culture. We also understand the concern around shifting priorities. Like many companies, Vector operates in an ever-changing economic landscape. As market needs evolve, we have to evaluate and adjust priorities to keep the business growing, serve our customers well, and support the team members who drive our success. We will not dismiss feedback simply because it is difficult to read. We have meaningful work, a strong team, and a lot to be proud of, but we also have work to do. We appreciate your perspective and will continue working to make Vector a better place to build a career.
