Pros

There are still people within the organization that truly care about the business and the people.

Cons

The problem with this company is the CEO. The people are good people who care about the business, but that is not what we have leading us. He pretends to care about the people and speaks of treating people with respect. He is exactly the opposite of that. The true CEO recently just came out at the North American Town Hall. He was in the middle of speaking to the entire division and there were technical difficulties with the speakers for those of us who joined remotely. He completely lost it on the technical IT person who was hosting it. He flipped out and humiliated this employee over a speaker and noise. This has been done to many employees within the organization, sadly it's behavior that is tolerated by all. Is that a Leader or a BOSS? You decide. Definition of Leader: the person who leads or commands a group or organization. Definition of a BOSS: a person in charge of a organization, gives orders in a domineering manner

I was very disappointed to read this review as I, and other senior colleagues from Vitec, spend time in the Divisional offices and feedback from working with a wide range of employees is that the Senior Leadership Team in your business is doing a great job, led by a strong and visionary Divisional CEO. They have my, and the Board’s, full support to continue to deliver the long-term strategy that they have been set to enable us to continue to compete effectively. I care passionately about our employees and our customers, and am proud of our exceptionally strong brands and the ability of our people. I am impressed that everyone in your Division is working together to produce great products that delight our customers, and building a business that is outperforming almost every competitor in similar markets. I urge you and other anonymous reviewers on Glassdoor to contact me directly if you have any specific concerns. I operate an ‘open door policy’, so please do email me at: sbird@vitecgroup.com

Pros

Nice people that work there for the most part

Cons

This place is a joke- sinking ship that has no idea how to right it. Company losing market share and 4% revenue yoy since 2021. Leadership leaving at all levels, pay is honestly at or below poverty level at this point and micromanagement is off the rails because targets are not being met. On the verge of another huge layoff stateside.
