Pros

Teamwork amongst peers and some co-workers that are like family. The pay is Average/good, but there are MANY who Ive seen that are truly underpaid and over worked. Nice new facility for the VSE HQs, close to metro, bus, delis, stores, and a fitness facilty in Metro Park.

Cons

Management and our Leaders (ET) want what is best for THEIR POCKETS only. We cut employees, so they can get bigger bonuses and checks. We reduce cost and force our team mates to find cost savings ways, however the ETs and Presidents live on a champagne budget. Employees are treated as replaceable, and forced to work unpaid OT because they are "salaried" and this goes unnotticed and swept under the rug.

Pros

There's no longer any "PROS" associated with VSE, as they've all been laid off, and it's a shame. Once the highly respected "Old Man" was forced out as the CEO this company has gone down hill. Maurice "Mo" Gauthier is an egotistical man who only cares about himself.

Cons

VSE is a "CON". The ELD Division, who is solely responsible for the past success of VSE, has been robbed of its profits and is now defunct. The men and women whom, for 19 years,made this company successful under the USARC contract, have all been laid off and left out to dry! No severance, no thank you for X years of service! Just a layoff letter blaming the govt. for their problems. Hamel Il. Closed San Antonio, Tx. Closed Ashland, Va. Closed Gatesville, Tx. Closed Ladysmith, Va.
