Pluspunten

Good company, friendly people, willing to take on chance on people with limited experience as long as they show character, ethic, and a willingness to learn on the job. Competently run company, very efficient and growth minded. If you're looking for an entry level job as jumping off point into something else, or a consistent and reliable 8 to 5 with very little change over the years, this is good place to look. CEO grew up in the construction business and blue collar culture, which has its pros and cons. Operations and logistics are run very well, and there is a clear and good emphasis on work ethic and integrity. In the white collar part of the business it starts to erode a bit - KPIs can be unclear or based off of brute force output metrics, with no consideration for quality or external factors.

Minpunten

No real ability for career growth. Many people on the management team are very attached to "the way things have always been done", so new ideas rarely are given serious consideration. Almost no turnover in senior level positions, with no clear plans to build out any new ones, so in most cases, whatever job you're hired for will be the job you're at when you leave the company. Negotiating raises seems to be impossible to do - management will point blank tell you the value you provide to the company has very little to do with what you're paid. Culture is bit stagnant. Company events have remained largely unchanged for years, most of them based off of the CEO's favorite things to do. A lot of people are from the same small town/rural area and grew up together, so if you're not acquainted outside of work, it can be difficult to get to know your co-workers and integrate into the culture. Sales are almost entirely based on Amazon, which means that the company is somewhat beholden to changes within Amazon's seller structure and policies.

VIVO values character, work ethic & a willingness to learn as having a strong team is what has allowed us to grow year after year for over a decade. In return we invest in our employees by providing competitive pay, yearly raises, bonus programs, PTO, health insurance and more. In addition to the benefits package, we invest in team building through company activities such as picnics, ice cream socials, volleyball games and various tournaments. This is the reason we do not have a high turnover rate, something we are very proud of. Most of our Management Team was promoted from within as we give our employees the opportunity to grow with us. We value all feedback as we continue to make VIVO a workplace where employees have pride in what they do while enjoying the environment in which they work.
