VPC Group Inc.

The Owners and Management team are very supportive and hands on with the employees. They truly care about their staff members and empower them to make decisions and develop within their career. VPC is one of the most compassionate and ethical employers I've had in my entire career. In my short span with the company, I've witness them support various employees with personal/financial struggles.

The environment is friendly and they truly have an open door policy. You can speak with the senior management team directly. They are extremely safety focused, housekeeping is mentioned everyday as a mantra.

The worst place I've ever worked at. They'll expect you to be perfect the day you start. And if you did a minor mistake, you'll be given the most frustrating sigh on your face ( or a face palm occasionally ) to make you feel like a useless person. And if you try not to mess up, by waiting to get your work approved before you finalize and send it for cutting, you will be considered SLOW. There is literally no winning. You are expected to gulp down the frustration your supervisors or whatever throw on you. You can be fired for taking ' too many washroom breaks ' even if it is twice in 8 hours shift. But, in meetings they will act all welcoming and nice by saying you can anytime take breaks in the shift if you feel hot. It's a literal nightmare to work here. I wish I could explain about the condition of washrooms here. It's so gross! Consider it a lucky day if you see paper towels in there.

I came into this internship with little knowledge on what a daily life of an engineer is like. I met the CEO of the company on the first day and judging from the way he treated me I had a gut feeling that my internship there would be delightful. Everyone including the management treat you like a peer and give you a level of respect which was highly appreciated as I was just an intern. Now don't get me wrong it's not all fun and games over there, you're expected to do your work properly and have it done by any deadlines (which you or your supervisor may place). They encourage asking questions at the workplace and will never turn you away if you ask to shadow them. All in all, I genuinely believe that this internship is one of a kind, all other internships have the interns feel alienated from the work going on in the company, not this company, I am given my own projects and I feel like I am helping improve the company not just doing busy work.

I am been with the company for approximately 7 months now, and I feel as though my role in the company truly matters. Everyone has been very welcoming and helpful during my transition and continue to be today. I am encouraged to ask questions and am continuous given feedback.

Executives are very friendly, and dedicated to the growth of the company as a whole. Department and factory managers all work very hard to keep up with the business needs. Seniors show there appreciation for their staff consistently! 

The company welcomes growth internally and offers a very diverse workforce in both the offices and factories.

With the pandemic, the company takes all safety measure very seriously and continue to work on ways to help keep everyone safe. 

Overall, very much enjoy working here and looking forward to what the future holds.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only best part is the overtime 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
HR department is hard to get in contact with, supervisor not being able to deal with lazy employees, being forced to take the vaccine when others didn't, etc.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Their vision was based on SPIRIT (Safety, Passion, Integrity, Respect, Involvement, Teamwork), which is funny since I felt like I have no spirit at the end of a shift. As if the company is draining my very soul. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go in, find out what we are doing for the day, prep. If there is nothing much to do, we clean and prep for the next shift etc

They have this vision posted on a wall including teamwork but they never have this. I work at the packing line with an $18.11/hr wage but they want you to do more. They even let you work alone at the packing area. Make boxes, glue it, put the mattress inside the box and cover it. After that you need to put it on the skid and wrap it. They even want you to operate the machine without paying you as a machine operator. Everyday you’re tired. It is a fast paced environment. Last march of 2022 we volunteered to get laid off because we only get 2 days work because of shortage of work and before we got laid off we are promised that when we get back we’ll receive a gift card but as of this moment we never received any. Union sucks as well. 

I joined this company 7 months ago. The plant I work in, has diverse culture, everyone respect each other and always work as a team. The management in here is very supportive to us. The best part is i got a promotion in just 4 months from a machine operator to lead hand. Tons of overtime, free gift cards, 3 months and 6 months retention bonus. 

There are lots of opportunities to grow and learn.  I can say i am job satisfied which is the most important thing as an employee.  Plant management is always there at your back to support. 

I would like to start off this review with the fact that I was laid off and later terminated due to COVID-19's work shortage.

-typical day at work: must work in teams to finish tasks
-I learned: different types of foam
-the manager is very nice
-the hardest part: heavy lifting (about 60-70 lbs between two people)
-most enjoyable: the hours (morning shift: 6 am-2 pm)

I loved working there and I would recommend it to anyone.

I have been working at VPC Group full-time. There is immense growth opportunities and lots room for improvements. A great team to work with and supportive Manager. I appreciate the continuous feedback which I receive from my seniors.
Every company comes with some pros and cons and thus VPC too have some cons. But they are improving from time to time and I have seen them working on retention, increasing pay rates, changing work environment etc.

I've been here four months and I am truly enjoying it. The location is good for commuting and the pay is competitive. It's a typical 7:30-3:30 and work life balance is easy and manageable. The company is committed to it's employees mental health, which I find very important. The safety protocols for CoVid were followed and some are still being implemented as well. Safety is their top priority amongst the employees.
