Pros
All Pros have been lost.
Cons
VBA was a fantastic employer for many years. However, since Spectrum Equity invested in the company last year, significant changes have left the organization in complete disarray. The once excellent culture has been completely crushed. Multiple rounds of layoffs have occurred, each followed by assurances from Spectrum's implanted leaders that there would be no further cuts, only for more employees to quietly disappear week after week, discovered by colleagues attempting to connect with them on company platforms to find they had been deactivated. The deception and dishonesty are troubling, but even more disheartening is the original executive team's decision to prioritize financial gain over the well-being of their longtime, dedicated colleagues, promising "opportunities" that have yet to materialize. The workplace environment has deteriorated into one of toxicity and instability, with employees living in constant fear of being the next unexpected termination, while those who remain are burdened with excessive workloads. Leadership fails to advocate for their team members and allows affluent clients to openly disrespect them. I am embarrassed and disgusted to ever have been part of this organization.
