Advice to Senior Management

Compensate better and you'll have a more loyal and motivated staff. Add a break room or employee perks or *something* to indicate you care at all about morale of employees.

Pros

there is not one good reason to even consider to work at VTG, they are liars, phonies, and have zero respect for the hours put in, you, employees and their families or their customers

Cons

Worked for 3 months, excellent closing ratio, top of my class, only to be let go for making too much money. Thats right, as soon as I got off the less-than-minimun-wage salary they provide you with in training I was fired! They did not want to pay me my commission because it well over exceeded my crappy training salary. I worked commission only for ONE day before they made up an excuse about that made absolutely no sense. I wasted 3 months there when I could have spent that time looking for a real job.
