They are now in Kitchener, Ontario and surrounding areas looking to 'expand' east and west. What a joke. After wasting my time looking up Vex on the internet and finding nothing (we are told they are international with 12 years in the business), I searched Innovage (their product lines from a separate and independent suppler).
WOW! They are up to all of their old tricks including evading taxes. Beware of the positive comments on the company - I'm sure they are all posted by the scammers from the company. I'm a mature adult aware of the laws & regulations and felt from the get-go that something was amiss.
Unfortunately they hire kids that are 16-19 who are not as informed and who get stuck in their 12-14 hour work days 6 days a week. Sundays are optional but they pressure you to work it. I have yet to see any products from the companies they are supposed to be affiliated with, such as Disney, Crayola, Liz Claiborn, NFL, NHL, the list goes on & on.
They claim that the merchandise is 'supplied' through contracts from independent manufacturers, which is bull. They own these production lines and hijack reputable corporation's identities to further their scamming. It is a great work atmosphere that you get sucked into and have little time to reflect on what is really going on. The motto 'If it sounds too good to be true it probably is' fits here very well.
It took me working there one week to figure this out. I'm devastated about what those poor kids are having to put up with and do for this company. I have reported them to all the appropriate authorities. Hopefully this will slow them down, but I doubt it will stop them completely. They will change name yet again and start over somewhere else.
Beware, be very aware. Leave while you still can.
