Putting lipstick on a pig - PAYMENT PROCESSING Volusion Employee Review

Company promotes positive culture. Company wants you to think there’s room for advancement and no micro managing. This is completely false. Management isn’t open to suggestions that would improve company. Company is worried about getting large useless LEGO blocks than improving antiquated operations and products. Opportunities for advancement or change of role is dependent on your direct leadership. If you’re part of a small department, you don’t have much of a shot. Especially on a 3-4 person team. Seems that you’re kept around in current role bc of complacency. Some direct management seems to just have gotten the title bc they have been there for a long period of time. Training is shotty at best and depends on the department you’re put in. No uniformed training. Only uniformity is orientation to fill out insurance and new hire paperwork, the you’re basically left to fend for yourself. Taking time off is a battle in itself as well. No clear system on calling sick. If you’re in a small department, there’s history of being threatened with disciplinary action or being forced to come back from a scheduled vacation early, if someone else is out and the manager doesn’t want to take on their responsibility of covering. You would need to text direct manager directly outside of company to ask permission for sick day. That can lead to a response insinuating you may be hungover from the night before. People and Culture team seem to have an open door and act as if they’re willing to help. However, if an issue arises, it really goes nowhere.
