Ethical Profile

Mixed.

VSE Corporation receives a mixed ethical rating. Critics point to a history of labor violations, including over $270,000 in wage and hour penalties and $43,000 for workplace safety issues since 2000. Reports suggest employees feel overworked and underpaid, with a CEO pay ratio of 78:1. However, VSE has committed to increasing living wage earners from 50% to 75% within two years and maintains a collective bargaining agreement. The company's support for military aircraft, serving government markets, also creates a fundamental conflict with "No War, No Weapons" values. On the environmental front, VSE demonstrates efforts in recycling various materials, repurposing around 90% of aircraft through teardown, and using approximately 80% biodegradable packaging at its Kansas facility.
