Vendasta Employee Review

Great place to work!

Support (Current Employee) - HQ - 22 December 2021

My time so far at Vendasta has been wonderful! It is really a stark difference compared to my previous employment as my new team is collaborative, enjoyable, and extremely supportive. They are dedicated to growth as many people work in multiple areas of the company, and they encourage personal and professional growth too! The company is growing and growing quickly so they are constantly adjusting and readjusting. It's exciting, and challenging work, and the people are super great! They take constructive criticism well and are look for ways to improve their employees' experiences. My area revamped their training because the old way didn't work, and the new way is much better!

Pros

Free hot breakfast, lunches, standing desks, wellness initiatives, supportive team, exciting growth opportunities, wonderful people, ping pong

Cons

Constantly changing (might be a bit of a challenge for people who need rigid structure)

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
