Vantagepoint ai Reviews

Pros

Teamwork, Commitment, Integrity, Fun, Thriving

Cons

None is that a question

Pros

I've been working at VP since February and it's hands down the best place I've ever worked because of the PEOPLE, the software, the core values of the company, and the overwhelming positive vibes every single day. I love working for a purpose and we truly are a family that works hard to promote a product that genuinely helps traders in big ways.

Cons

More traditional in the sense of PTO, working in office each day which can contrast the lifestyle of ad tech/working from home/flex hours if you're not used to it but nothing out of the ordinary and not even a con!

Pros

Legitimate 6-Figure sales opportunity if you have real sales skills. Incredible work life balance, fully paid medical and dental insurance, all in a fun and positive environment. The absolute best thing about VantagePoint AI is being surrounded by such great people. It is hard to find a culture and a group of people who are so well aligned and focused on changing the lives of people everyday, it's truly special. Not to mention the job security. The AI industry is booming! And, our organization has been pioneering and perfecting this technology in the financial markets for nearly 3 decades. We just hit our annual goal in Q3, and the company is growing quickly, which opens up a lot of internal growth opportunity for employees. This is truly the best place to work ever! And that's not just my opinion, we just won a national award for best places to work on top of consecutive awards in the Tampa Bay area. This is a one of a kind place and I'm proud to be a part of something so incredible.

Cons

It's not easy. Training is extremely difficult and only those who have above average skills can do this on a high level. No matter how good you think you are now, this place will humble you. You will not be the best sales person in the room that I promise. But, if you put in work and have an open mind, you can get there in time. But, it will take 4-6 months.

Pros

From the moment I walked in the door, I was made to feel like part of a family. This is a relaxed but productive environment. We are always strongly encouraged to try new things, take risks, and never settle for the same results. The leadership team is very supportive and are appreciative for everything that is accomplished whether big or small. I am excited about the future with this company.

Cons

It is hard to say no to all the delicious food brought in for the team to enjoy.

Pros

Nice building. Cisco/Salesforce enabled selling environment. Free food.

Cons

Constant surveillance. No structure to training and development. Mandatory unpaid at-home training. Cameras. Tape recorders. Recycled thumb drives supplied for use on home computers.

Pros

The technology is the best and the training is unmatched. I learn everyday. The team atmosphere is incredible. The salary is Great as well.

Cons

It’s not for everyone.

Pros

A very positive group to work with, everyone shares in the success of the company. They have a lot of employee activities to keep everyone engaged as a team. The organization from the top with Lane the President, to everyone in the building is always looking for ways to improve and enhance the company. Everything I saw there was top drawer.

Cons

Location, the building is located on the northern reaches of the Tampa Bay area. It may be a challenge at times to get there depending on traffic.

Pros

Breakfast on Fridays was cool

Cons

1. For starters, they offer a $100 severance to not say anything bad about the company. That's 1 reason why you don't find many honest reviews. 2. They are hiring 4-6 sales people every month to turn around and literally fire almost every one of them. In our class, 3 of the 4 were fired. 3. New reps are expected to learn a 1.5 hour long talk track in 2 weeks. If the new rep, for example, get caught asking 2 questions in the wrong order - they Immediately start to consider firing you. 4. The team has absolutely no clue how to handle new hires, which is why since the new regime has been brought in they've only had 2 reps stay with the company over 6 months. (out of the maybe 50-60 new hires they've brought on). They provide 0 hands on with the new hires for 3 weeks and won't even introduce themselves to you, then will randomly pop in week 4 and pull up 1-2 of your 1,000+ calls. I got fired for this reason, I was heard asking a customer a wrong question (not unprofessional, not rude, just worded differently than the they wanted) and then they thought I was talking to fast on the 1 call they actually listened to longer than 2 minutes. What's incredible, is that the team will listen to experienced reps fumble calls away because of asking the wrong questions, but the new reps should have all of these tracks memorized within weeks? To the point of firing over 75-80% of who you bring on? 5. The company literally defines the word micromanaging. A couple of examples include: -Don't ever expect to make a call without one secretly listening in. -Don't expect to actually take your 15 full minute breaks because they will watch the clock the moment you leave -Don't expect to go 2 days without being ridiculed. Every morning, they pick random calls to broadcast to the entire team and pick on. There is no such thing as 1 on 1 help. -one day, I got caught in the phone and had to take my lunch almost 30 minutes late. I was actually asked to still come back after 30 minutes, but clock in after an hour so I wouldn't get paid OT. -last but not least, they check if you are logging in to study OFF SHIFT. They will question you and look down on you if you aren't. But if you are, it still won't matter you will get fired for next to nothing. 6. The company is literally churning through potentially valuable reps and ruining lives on a monthly basis. I know of 3 individuals who left full-time decent careers for this company (who fluffs reviews and awards) only to get fired within weeks based on how you worded a question. Trust me, when I was hired I was PUMPED. I saw these reviews, I saw the photos on their page, and the recruiter was a wonderful woman. But PLEASE, I ask anybody seriously considering working here, to take your eyes off the overall rating and read all that I just wrote. Because I PROMISE, if you take this job, these things are guaranteed to happen and you will then be telling me how you should have listened. Think about your family and how important it is to find something that commits to developing talent rather than throwing it in the trash month after month. I made the mistake of leaving a consistent career and told my daughter and wife that I found something so wonderful, only to be disappointed and now struggling to figure out next months mortgage. Again, please think about how important it is for you to find something consistent. If you are young and can handle a 1 month trial of a job, then go ahead and gamble. But if you are established in your career and are just looking for a better CAREER with better pay and better training, please go elsewhere.
