I worked at VMG for a few years and unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing due to the culture shaped from the top down.
The owner fosters a hostile work environment—frequently yelling at employees, disregarding boundaries, and reacting with hostility if ideas don’t align with her own. She exhibits clear narcissistic behavior and insists on complete control, often undermining employees in public settings. Constructive input is not welcomed, and speaking up can make you a target.
Worse yet, compensation is well below industry standards. Despite this, employees are routinely expected to take on additional responsibilities without fair pay or recognition. Burnout is common, and appreciation is virtually nonexistent.
Company funds are often redirected toward personal pet projects that offer no real value to the business. This mismanagement not only drains resources but also creates confusion about priorities.
Don’t expect support from department heads either. Many are more concerned with protecting themselves than supporting their teams, and it's not uncommon to be thrown under the bus to preserve their standing.
If you value a respectful, transparent, and supportive work environment, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. There are far better organizations where your time, talent, and well-being will be respected.
