Vector Security Reviews

Pros

I have worked at Vector Security for 5 years this September and I could not be more happy. Sales in this industry is hard and is not made for everyone. I recently made the reward trip that Vector Security offers to their top performers and it is wonderful to see a company that rewards hard work. I love the manufacturers we work with and the technology and I am proud to work for this company. At first it was hard I will admit but I am glad I stuck it out and I plan to continue to work here for a long time.

Cons

The only downside I can see for this specific position is the onboard training. They did not have much of it when I started but now they are really focusing on this and I have seen a difference with new hires for this position.

Pros

Great culture and good working environment

Cons

No cons is observed in company during work period

Pros

Takes care of employees. Good salary for the area

Cons

A little disorganized after recent staff changes but making positive changes that will better the company overall

Pros

Pay is fair, overtime available, potential bonuses/free food, nice coworkers, good opportunity to learn about alarm systems and industry- the environment is not for everyone but if you are fairly smart, stay cool and actually want to work, its a good fit for you

Cons

Not nearly enough internal advancement or transfer opportunities. Call center is a good job and some employees are fine with staying there but other employees want to take the next step forward. Some of these CSRs could have been turned into much needed technicians, sales consultants, and project managers with more guidance and support

Pros

Coworkers at the local branches who suffer as much as I did throughout my tenure are about the only positives in my experience at this company.

Cons

Extremely understaffed, underpaid with a completely out of touch corporate and leaders. Don't provide techs or office employees any of the tools they need to do their basic day to day job functions. Antiquated systems and processes. Overall greedy company that doesn't care about their employees or customers, just their bottom line. They will work you to death with a completely understaffed office where every member is filling the role of at least 2 people each and then ask why tasks are not getting completed / getting missed and customer service is lacking. They pretend to be a multimillion dollar company but don't act like one at all operationally. It's an embarrassment.

Pros

The "boss" of central Station will never let her staff "drown"alone. If there has been event that causes power outages/surges sending systems into chaos-she will be right there working the phones with you. Much respect.

Cons

A sample of the crap attitudes-If you are stuck and ask the leads associated supv or supv their response will be "read the instuctions" 🤫You don't think that was attempted and apparently something wasn't clear?

Pros

- As a contractor I was paid weekly

Cons

- This company does not care to train effectively - Very unorganized - High school cafeteria feeling when in office - False hopes given at the beginning about career advancement and all the knowledge willing to be taught but is not -Sr Project Manager that don’t do their job or try to cover up mistakes by using Project coordinators as a shield -Some coworkers are ok but majority are dying for a raise and will do anything for it - Gainesville location is very racist , whether it’s passive or not they do discriminate.

Pros

Easy job once you know what you're doing

Cons

Extremely challenging learning curve to understand navigating the system. Low pay for the amount of stress and know how that goes into the job.

Pros

I worked at several companies who had shared values that they didn't live. Not Vector Security, they truly care about their employees and walk the talk everyday. Our employees are amazing from the CEO down to the lowest level. It is a true team, and we "Win as a Team". I really like working here. I feel that they provide ample work/life balance and also the autonomy to do your job. Our CEO worked her way up since joining out of college and she is well respected in our industry. There is a lot of room for career development and growth. A lot of tenured employees here. My manager communicates and keeps us well informed about the company on a weekly basis. It's a good feeling. Plus we have a nice compensation/benefits plan. What more can you ask for?

Cons

I think our 401k could be a little more generous but that's a small con.

Pros

pays well plenty of over time. every-other weekend off descent benefits

Cons

work life balance is terrible on call is mandatory
