Vendasta Employee Review

Fast paced, energizing environment

Project Manager (Current Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 22 December 2021

Working at Vendasta has provided me with the opportunity to work with multiple enterprise partners which allows me to work with our various internal R&D teams. Collaboration is encouraged and has provided with the teams to work together to the betterment of the organization and our Partners (clients). Management at all levels are aware of the work that is progressing and available to help when needed. The S-team recognizes the hard work that goes into keeping our partners engaged and happy.The culture is also important and all employees are encouraged to participate in any social event that they feel comfortable attending. During the pandemic everyone was encouraged to stay home but if living arrangements weren't ideal employees were allowed to continue working in the office with the necessary precautions being taken. Now that things have opened up, employees are being encouraged to return to the office but no one is being forced to as Vendasta recognized that employees were productive both working from home and the office.

Pros

Amazing chef inspired meals, happy hour Fridays, recognition, management support, unlimited sick PTO, culture, collaboration between teams, work colleagues, good work and life balance, salary.

Cons

Benefits are good but they could be better (coverage on glasses could be improved :)).

Thank you so much for the five-star review! The pandemic is challenging, and we're doing our best to remain flexible for our teams. We also *see* your feedback on benefits! It's a big reason why we've recently introduced the Health Spending Account. If you'd like to learn more about the HSA can help, please reach out to Jean Parchewsky on Slack, or pop by People Operations and we'll be glad to give you a run-through!

Fantastic work culture, but that doesn't make up for everything else a company should be.

Do not work here

Management (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 6 September 2023

This company is not trustworthy. They do not practice what they preach about their culture. Many of their leaders are young with big titles and little experience (cost saving here). If you come in with experience, be careful as you can be fired for threatening the less experienced people there with your good work. Do not leave a stable job for this one for the promise that your hard work will pay off (it won't). Their company goal is to continuously fire bottom-ranking performers. If you love a toxic culture and are willing to throw people under the bus to get ahead. Play the game, get in the 'cool kids' & you'll thrive at Vendasta.

Pros

Free unhealthy food that will make you gain a ton of weight

Cons

There is no work life balance, There are a ton of events outside regular hours that you have to go to, Overtime is expected and nobody cares that you are working long hours because everybody else is too
