Volaris Group reviews

There is a steady move away from true autonomy for businesses they acquire. The portfolio is increasingly staffed with people who lack real-world business experience. These roles create a significant "burden of overhead" rather than adding value, resulting in high-level leaders being managed by "checklists" rather than strategy. There is a significant "command and control" culture. Leaders are discouraged from implementing modern, agile, or cross-functional structures if they deviate from a very rigid, traditional hierarchy. The company sells a vision of "entrepreneurial leadership," but the reality is a heavy command-and-control culture.

Believe all the other bad reviews. Everything they put on their marketing is bs. After the company is acquired they will reduce the team to bones whilst increasing their workload 10 fold with all the silly reporting, check-ins and processes due to an utter lack of trust. All these are done under the guise of "business coaching" by inexperienced and naive 'group managers/leaders' who think they know how to run businesses. It's like they read a business textbook and are trying to manage based on textbook examples. Forget about autonomy. The group managers and leaders will tell u exactly what to do and this normally ends up hurting the business due to their inexperience, naivety and know-it-all mindset. And when it explodes, they take no responsibility or they might have moved on up from the role. The whole ecosystem is built on a culture of distrust where everyone including the portfolio leaders, group leaders, group managers are suspicious of one another and generally act without any integrity whatsoever and try to undermine each other behind their backs. It got so bad that I dont want my customers to buy from us anymore because I know they will be screwed over by Volaris with big unjustified price hikes all whilst providing a lousy product that gets worst over time due to not investing in R&D. They do this to the largest customers thinking that the customer is stuck with them and the switching costs are too high. But obviously the customer knows what is going on and walks away eventually. Then it's time for another round of retrenchment and the downward spiral continues. You will not grow your career if u stay in the VBU because the company will defintely continue shrinking as they keep losing customers. The only way to advance your career is to move out of the VBU and become that inexperienced coach. Kind of like a multi-level marketing scam. Quickly move up before it spirals to nothing.
