Vendasta Employee Review

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

Not a company worth Joining

Manager (Former Employee) - Remote - 20 October 2023

Would not reccomened joining the company. They lack accountability, structure and are unable to keep or get top talent. They are inpatient and are unable to properly execute on their vision due to to many people being miss-aligned and a CEO that micromanages the entire business.

Cons

Poor pay, average benefits, bad leadership, CEO is incompetent

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're genuinely disappointed to hear that your time at Vendasta didn't meet your expectations.While we thrive in a fast-paced environment, we never want anyone to feel that their mental health is being affected by working here. The well-being of all Vendastians means a lot to us. We actively promote a healthy work-life balance. In fact, we've crafted an entire mental health toolkit available to Vendastians, providing valuable resources to support their mental well-being. We also have a wellness and mental health committee that organizes educational training events, and fun activities to ensure everyone’s well-being is being taken care of. Scaling a company is no easy task, but at Vendasta, we're lucky to have leaders with experience from some of the world's largest companies guiding us. Their insights are crucial as we navigate the ups and downs of growing our business.The insights and feedback from Vendastians and former employees are also vitally important to us and are something we take to heart as we grow and improve our culture.
