Flexibility & Adaptability

Hybrid Model

Over the last year, the global pandemic has presented profound challenges — for the world, for our industry, for our own families. We are proud and grateful to see how the people of VPC have looked out for each other. That is why we are pleased to offer a hybrid work model for our office-based colleagues nationwide. It includes enhanced flexibility for office employees to work from home when feasible. Managers will decide when in-person collaboration is necessary. This work model will help our employee morale and energize us all to stay true to our mission of reliable service to our customers.

Part-time Employment Opportunity

Part-time employment allows students to meet their obligations to home and family as they pursue higher education. VPC values their work with us, and strives to help them cope with the pressures of studies and adjusting to an academic environment.

Covid-19 Compliance

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have worked hard to keep our employees safe and a few steps ahead of the curve. We were proactive, putting protocols in place such as alternate schedules and adjusted work environments to accommodate social distancing. We help our employees get their vaccinations, and take care of them when they need it most, often giving more than is expected, just as they do for us. In times of stress, we empower our employees to focus on their well-being rather than worry about work. We do everything we can to ensure that everyone, including our customers, our suppliers and our employees, are protected and safe.

Employee Well-Being

VPC employees enjoy comprehensive benefits, including access to Extended Health, Dental, Prescription Drug, Life/Disability Insurance and Retirement Savings Plans, which features a company-match Profit Sharing component for all participants. Our Employee Assistance Program provides access to resources and professional help for mental health and well-being concerns. VPC regularly challenges our team members to stay active by sponsoring a variety of sports/recreation activities, and has launched other initiatives to encourage healthy lifestyles.
