Pros

Varied clientele, work experience, location convenient to major highways, 401k match, nice co-workers.

Cons

Someone mentioned sweatshop, good descriptor. No flex time. Few could work remotely. No casual days. 3 weeks PTO which covers vacation, sick or whatever. You can earn up to 4 weeks but how long will it take? After 5 years you earn….drumroll…..1 additional day! Not an additional week. Who does that?! Bonus offered but few actually achieved. Raises closer to 3%-4% for those I knew about. Lost 2 paid holidays that management never said anything about. They just disappeared from the calendar. Below market salaries.

Thanks so much for your feedback, we try to do our best make changes and adapt based on any feedback we receive. This individual's point is well taken on the bonus structure. We were not satisfied with the payout levels as well. Subsequent to their departure earlier this year, we have rolled out a new bonus structure based on the Great Game of Business and full open book management. Third quarter bonuses were recently paid out and all team members received a bonus check, the largest quarterly bonus payout to date. We are on track for a similar performance in the 4th quarter. As a point of clarification, we do add one additional day of vacation each year after 5 years so that you are at 4 weeks each year by your 10th year. Most companies go to 3 weeks after 5 years and 4 weeks after 10 years. Regarding paid holidays, we have not made any change to reduce paid holidays. In fact, the last change we made to holidays was to add a day around Christmas. Not sure if this feedback has to do with the timing of holidays, as sometimes we give New Year's Eve off rather than New Year's Day when New Year's Day falls on a weekend. That could change the number of days in any one calendar year, flipping a day between years, but we still get the same number of days for all he same holidays that we always have. Thanks again for your feedback, we do take it to heart and make efforts to continuously improve.

Pros

Great exposure to industries, software and accounting knowledge. Fun events and lunches. Learn a lot within a short amount of time. Team atmosphere. Nice concept. Great processes, approach, tools and training for how Venturity should function. Expand your knowledge in accounting, teamwork, time management and communication.

Cons

Sweat Shop. No boundaries piling work on employees without regard on wellbeing as people; the more you handle, the more you get, no limit. Leadership is always "busy" and unsupportive. Sink or Swim mentality. The company doesn't live it's vision, mission & values. Open environment under heavy monitoring and criticism. 25-35% turnover.

While this person presents an accurate picture of the pros of working at Venturity, the cons listed by the this person are just not consistent with my experience working at Venturity. It is not at all a sweat shop. When I do choose to work late the office is almost empty by 6:00 most days. Definitely not a "sink or swim" mentality, as I'm on a team that works together and my Controller is always willing to pitch in when I need help. I have direct access to any members of management and they have met with me often to discuss my career. It's an open environment, but I don't feel constantly "monitored" or "criticized". I definitely feel more respected and heard here than anywhere else I've worked. Venturity has been a great experience, not at all like the downsides listed by this person.
