Pros

I cannot sit here and say anything great about this place. Do....not....work....here. It is good if you are desperate and need a job right away. The only pro I can see was the free ice cream? Which I don't get at my new job and I've been losing a lot of weight due to it. So, it's a pro now! They lie about the pay you will get. My recruiter told me about 20k more than what I actually got. I went home crying that day when I found out I was only going to be given $500 for pulling in over 50k in revenue. A normal sales organization would give you a percentage.

Cons

This place was run by not at all experienced managers. They believe in not taking breaks, never accepting your PTO (wasn't able to see my family for the holidays due to it, cause that screams work/life balance), making you tell them why you want time off (legally they can't really do that), wondering why someone could ever take ten minutes over their break time, managing a que so therefore you can never be flexible with your time, constantly listening to made up gossip, firing those that actually performed, meetings of motivational quotes that is a complete waste of time. I can go on and on and on. Don't work here, better companies out there. Heck I would of rather worked as a bartender or a waitress than this place. Worse job I've ever had. Hands down.

Pros

I'm staring at this box, trying to figure out what to write... They tried to foster a fun, young, work environment, but mostly to make up for the huge downfalls. Monthly potlucks that rarely actually happened, unhealthy snacks that were rarely stocked, apparently they had Nerf wars, but I never saw one in my 8 months. The website says you can get massages at work. Sure. If you want the cost deducted from you paycheck.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, poor training, poor management (I had managers that would routinely give incorrect answers, as well as managers who would routinely blame customers saying, "there's no problem with the software." The software had potential but it was ridden with bugs. Bugs that weren't being fixed. In the month of March 2012, our sites went down multiple times a day for hours at a time, we had major issues with merchants processing payments with credit cards and along, all we could say is "we are working on it, we don't know when it will be fixed, no we are not offering compensation at this time. Terrible sales team, promising things to merchants that were virtually impossible.

Pros

When I first started, the vibe at Volusion was great. The goals were realistic and the pressure was enough to drive the right amount of motivation without burning people out. I joined when their were roughly 50 people in the company. Over the next two year, to sum it up... things turned to hell.

Cons

I am speaking from strictly a salesperson's viewpoint. Goals were set to unrealistic proportions once the company hit around 150 people. No work-life balance. Sales managers would sit right behind your desk and stare at your computer screen. "Why haven't you made a call in 5 minutes?" 4 1/2 hours of talk time and 60-80 calls a day if you want to keep your job.
