Pros

- company mobile plan: you get a sim card, private use allowed - fruits for free - bonus at year end - flexible working hours

Cons

- work is not interesting, you learn nothing: they segment each task so that you just act as a robot. They are not interested in improving processes, actually they even are reluctant to do so. - constantly under pressure: they do not hire enough employees for the work to be achieved. - mobile phone + laptop : you have to be available and reachable even during the weekend. Boss and colleagues reach out to you for work reasons unexpectedly, so you can never shut down from work. - bad location: their building is in Ruisbroek, in a kind of abandoned zone, about 5m away from the Ruisbroek train station, where you have 2 trains / hour. Trains are always delayed and it is difficult to get there. - the building in itself is not well maintained, making work conditions unpleasant (restrooms are dirty, light bulbs are not changed for weeks,...) - unprofessional work environment: some of the colleagues behave beyond what one can expect from a workplace. Ex: very loud music all day long, coarse talks between colleagues, there are no limits, no respect, no value for diversity and no inclusion. - team building activities are all about drinking and partying, encouraged by the management team. - Management is novice and does not inspire: the manager does not care about your personal development. Worse: he does not care about your skills and knowledge. Very quickly you'll have the impression that you are responsible for everything, just because they don't take their own responsibilities.

Pros

Cool looking office, that's about it.

Cons

One by one, the most intelligent, hardworking people at Vente-Privee USA are being replaced by employees from the French counterpart. The sales team is grossly overpaid relative to the amount of work put in, and the managers of this team have not a clue as to how to manage people. As a whole, with the exception of two or three managers, Vente-Privee USA is extremely disorganized and has its priorities way out of order; too much of an emphasis on culture and not enough on performance.
