Varsity Brands

Most employees come with experience from participating in HS or College cheer or dance, however, it isn't required. Various roles like other corporations and you're given a lot of space to work at your pace. There are guidelines and special event timelines that do demand team effort to address, but you often have many co-workers to help. COVID hit their employee numbers hard and many had to be released. Certain positions will be re-filled as vaccine access grows, which will create options for those looking for work.

I worked with Varsity/Premier for years. Even though I brought results, I was never compensated properly (barely a living wage for someone who was in management) with hopes of raises that never came. No overtime pay was given even though you were expected to complete all your tasks even if you had to work more than 40hrs a week. Management does not care about its employees and does not provide proper support or training. If you were not related to, cheered with, or in a relationship with someone higher up you have no chance at advancing no matter the results and revenue you brought in.

I worked here for 3+ years, they do not care about their employees, no compensation or appreciation for hard work. If you do not know someone in the family then you have no room to grow. The work environment is toxic and hostile. Their good employees are replaceable, yet the management team (who are sub-par at best) will always have a job. Huge changes need to be made in order to thrive at 100%. I can’t imagine how much better they would do if they would replace the people at the top. I regret ever setting foot in that company.

You will be held to impossible standards of production by production time sheets, which increasingly move goal posts of the daily quota you are required to make.  It's an oppressive tool to crack the whip.  The corporation changes hands with different investment firms every 4-5 years; so you never know who the next CEO will be, and your job is never secure.  In certain departments, you reach a cap level at which you can advance; at which your pay stagnates, and through corporate policy will only advance with incremental merit raises of around $00.34 per year.

General staff, the actual workers, are overworked, under paid, not appreciated, no support from coworkers or superiors, bad benefits,  no 401k match, no tuition reimbursement, no chance for advancement or fair pay unless you're affiliated with the Varsity family of cheer or dance or related  to someone, etc.  I was a lifer, or so I thought, but was used and thrown aside.  I would not recommend working for them.  Its a complete waste of your life.  You deserve better!

A typical day at work was never typical.  This job had peaks and valleys as far as workload.
Overall management was excellent, however, sometimes it seemed they were not in touch with the smaller town markets.
Awesome coworkers.  Family.
Hardest part of the job was dealing with customer issues based on late deliveries,etc.
Most enjoyable part of the job was working with customers.

Varsity used to be a great place to work, but as the company as grown and  taken on a more corporate identity, it has gone downhill. The family that has always been promoted is now all talk and no action. The focus from the top is only to make money and grow. While this is important, there is no focus on the employees who work our butts off to do all of the work. We only get more and more work added to us with pay cuts and a reduction in benefits. 

I love this company, like my job, and tolerate my department. Varsity offers great PTO, especially around the holidays, and are pretty understanding about time off - Lots of employees here from out of state. They're the leader in their industry, by a long shot. This headquarter office offers little/no room for advancement within the company, although there are many lateral transfers between departments.

Most of my days are spent reviewing contracts, purchase orders, monthly P&L's analysis.

I've learned to balance multipel projects and task.

My co-workers are very dependable, helpful, and trustworthy.

The isn't anything difficult about my job.

The most enjoyable part about my job is working with multiple vendors in the convention, hotel, and travel industries.

I love the culture Varsity has set up for themselves, Bain Capital has ruined them and a one or two on the leadership team don't understand the concept of "Team Work" which is what Varsity Brands is all about.  If Varsity could get back to that, it would be the best place I have ever worked.
