It's not as good as they show you

Account Executive (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 22 March 2023

I have been trying very hard to get the job at Vendasta and why not? It has a mesmerising culture, reputation and brand.I finally got the job at Vendasta after a few rounds of tough interviews. Yes, it is tough to get in.I was feeling proud to join Vendasta. People were feeling jealous of me.There are many great things about Vendasta but unfortunately, Vendasta is not as good as it looks and sounds. DO NOT be mesmerised by their videos on Instagram and youtube. There are a few good points about Vendasta.Let me give my honest review.Positive points:It has a very strong reputation in the industryYou will be working with some of the smartest people and there is a lot to learn from everyoneAmazing infrastructure. It gives a stunning 360 degree view of the Saskatoon. I was in sales and the pay is really good. The commission structure is way above the industry standard. You can make a ton of money.Everything is well-documented. There is nothing you can not knowThe podcast and learning resources are very powerful and engaging. The online learning tools are excellent and way above the standard.A huge team of 500+ peopleHighly advanced and sophisticated software and tools that makes your work fast and efficientVendasta is offering many world-class products and services. They are sellable and are in need.There is a lot of scope for advancement. It's called 'one company many careers'. If you want to change the role after some time, there is a wider choice to move into.The company is growing by leaps and bounds. It has a huge potential and a bright futureThey give a lot -

We're disappointed to read this review, and frankly we don't recognize the company you are describing. If employees have concerns, they are always free to talk to People Operations, who will hear their issues in a non-judgemental manner. Having said that, Vendasta is a fast-moving place and while we work hard to put multiple supports in place for employees, and give them an outlet to do their best work. It's not for everyone, and we sincerely hope that you have found a company that better fits your expectations. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Not too good experience

Account Executive (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 3 April 2023

The company is good and it's growing rapidly. Their product is very complex and the support system is not so good. Overall it's a good company but it was certainly not joyful to work

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
