Pros

- Vox is a great place to grow or launch your career in professional/tech consulting. Vox employees are constantly pushed for growth by learning new concepts and products. Weekly consultant training/sessions are held to support and encourage learning from each other. While at Vox, I have met some talented and experienced professionals whom I have constantly kept in touch with for professional/technical advice. - Vox gives you tons of freedom to voice out concerns or ideas for improvement. Management makes it a point to make employees feel that they are stakeholders. - Vox's company culture is not for everyone but employees treat each other like family. Management always makes it to a point to share good news and spread positivity/achievements. - Vox just recently rolled out a Health Benefits package so I'm definitely excited for that. - Work is fully remote which means you don't have to endure traffic or bad weather. Another advantage is you don't have to dress up when you work from home - so definitely saving you money buying clothes.

Cons

- Work is fully remote so you might feel lonely at times. (Word of advice: Get a pet) - Vox operates always at peak capacity so finding someone to talk to or has the time to might prove difficult sometimes. - Early mornings, Long hours, occasional weekends depending on the season and workload - Vox is not for the faint of heart. Consulting (as a whole) is a very demanding job. - Some things you will have to learn by doing it yourself - Constantly learning (which is needed to stay sharp as a consultant) which you may have to do outside of normal working hours - Salary is okay, not high, not low - but always could be better :) (Note: I have based this opinion on the current job market and other people's salary in the industry).

Pros

The best part of working for Vox ISM was the amount of knowledge I acquired in such a short period of time. Working just 2 years is the equivalent of working 10 years in industry. Jim, Mike and Ed share and nurture your professional development on every level, from sales, marketing, operations, consulting skills, technical and product knowledge. As an employee you share and contribute to the business planning every 6 months and are monthly given an update on the performance. Vox ISM is a virtual company which means most days I work from home instead of wasting my life on the 401. The pay is good and training is a rewarding experience when you help someone accomplish a task or solve a problem or get them out of trouble. The consultants are knowledgeable and willing to help and share information all the time. I honestly believe that Vox ISM teaches you how to be 1% better every day!

Cons

Vox ISM is a virtual company with no physical office. I miss the small-talk, chit-chat and camaraderie found in a typical office environment where you can share stories around the water cooler. But don't miss the 3 hour commute. There is no secretary or admin person to help you fill out expenses, vacation forms, etc. you need to read the procedures or ask the busy consultants for help. Vox ISM new employee training focuses on soft skills not hard skills and therefore there is a lot of self-learning, late nights and sometimes lack of sleep (worrying about the next day if you're not prepared). The first 3 months were rough but it is now very easy and enjoyable.
