VSC Reviews

Vijay and Stacy. These two make up the leadership cabal at VSC and while I will say Vijay is a pure savant in client meetings, I have no idea how they manage to keep an agency going. For example, they have been pushing the team to give them 5 star reviews on Glassdoor to inflate their agency rating into the top percentile. When I left I was hounded to leave a 5 star review on the way out by a few people more recently I have heard that they have actually been holding bonuses from employees for not submitting reviews. Pretty sure if you are an awesome company, you don’t withhold well earned bonuses from employees until they give you a gold star. More importantly though Vijay and Stacy are just super disorganized people. They miss deadlines, reschedule meetings, and just generally always seem to be playing catch up. Most of this comes from Vijay’s desire to have every company decision run through him though. That is cool when you are a tiny agency but it has reached a point where it seems unsustainable and when I was leaving VSC it had really started to show.

- Inconsistent communication between managers and other employees - The CEO, Vijay, likes to micromanage on every detail, hindering progress - They exploit websites like Glassdoor to give an illusion of the company vs the reality - Pay is horrible compared to the amount of work that’s given to you and the minimum 45-50 hour work week - Management in almost all levels often loads their own work to the lower emoloyees and go off to do their own thing like traveling and partying - Due to the politics in the company, advancement in the company can only go so far - Quality and style of work is inconsistent, resulting in much inefficiency in how the company runs and some managers scolding you for doing what another manager has told you - Despite advertising “unlimited time off and vacation”, you’re pressured to not take time off and scolded if you even bring it up - They threaten to withold your bonus if you don’t follow a two month transition period before you depart the company or give a positive review on Glassdoor - There is little room for innovation or internal efficiency, despite claiming so - Despite claiming to be transparent, there is very little transparency in the company - You are often put on different accounts and given a task due immediately despite not being briefed on it or are able to provide input in advance - Fake news, click bait and misinformation in pitching, awards submissions, social media and sites like Glassdoor are encouraged, as long as it’s for the client - Due to the above things there is high turnover in the company, one of the big reasons for their constant hiring spree
