State of Vermont Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Absolutely awful employer. There are a few decent people there, but they are severely outnumbered by uneducated middle management and career bureaucrats who are impossible to fire. Nepotism, apathy, and general ignorance are not only tolerated but embraced by SOV. Wages are absolutely terrible in general and well below the national average due to wasteful spending and people at the top of the pyramid scheme making high salaries for doing absolutely nothing. 1/5 would not recommend it. Look elsewhere."

"The pay is not very good and so therefore the skill sets are more general. there is no expertise"

I would highly recommend this organization for anyone looking to work with a diverse population."
