Pros

Coworkers are cool and very friendly.

Cons

No structure, and leadership. Manager (owner) comes in late to work all the time. Building is filthy but they are moving to a new location soon. There is no realistic goals and if you are not liked by the manager (owner) you are DONE! Manager (owner) name is Ruben is very shady. His business model is unethical and sometimes I feel sorry for the customers that deal with this company. I caught Reuben (owner, manager) video taping me with his cellphone in the Men's restroom and also snooping around my personal life, especially what I post online. The working environment is a little hostile to my liking and there is "favoritism". This company has a high turnover rate and what I just explain probably explains why. Also, if you are not performing to their standards, there is no warning. You will just get a Skype notification to meet in the little office and then you are done.

We value and consider all feedback and we will continue to find ways to improve but we wanted to address a couple of your specific concerns. VRG Components has an informal training process for new employees who are given a lot of freedom in their role. New Account Executives go into the position immediately and are open to asking the team questions for problems he or she comes across. The monthly goals are addressed since day one and we perform check-ins within the first two weeks, monthly, and so on. This is a fast paced industry and the best candidates are highly motivated, proactive, team players with great communication skills and an entrepreneurial spirit. As for the office, we are currently in our start-up office. We are moving to a new location this summer that is twice the size of the current location due to healthy growth. A few weeks ago, we even provided employees the opportunity to visit the new office space. The accusation of the manager taping with the cell phone is false. We communicate heavily on Skype and he has to answer messages immediately because as mentioned this is a fast paced industry, especially with obsolete and hard to find components. Thank you for your ongoing contribution and feedback.

Pros

After working in a large warehouse for two years, it was so refreshing to start working in a close-knit company where the employees were excited to come to work each day. We all work as a team to provide excellent customer service and quality. We are proud to announce we are in the process of obtaining ISO Certification, which means that we are implementing new processes daily to ensure our quality standards are always exceeded. The owners and management really seem to care about each employee, as they are always awarding incentives to the employees who strive to do their best. Also, when learning a new task, management is exceptional in providing adequate training and is always willing to help. This is a very fast paced job, which means there is always opportunities to learn and grow, and that there is never a dull or boring moment. Our team is very diverse, which means we are able to communicate effectively with customers and suppliers all over the world.

Cons

As with any new company, there are issues that arise from time to time, but we as a team strive to overcome those daily and prevent them from happening again.
