Volusion reviews

-difficult to move up -pay is lower than desired

Volusion Development leadership is very much against change. Trying to upgrade a .Net version takes talking to 10 different people and waiting 6 weeks only to get shut down by a manager because he didn't think of it. You never know when you'll be let go. They talk about being a transparent company, but then make split second decisions to let go a group of people once things start going downhill. Talking to coworkers, they were always afraid of losing their job, and there was no warning. After being laid off they don't care about you. I was laid off with one week of severance. In the following weeks they invited the whole company to happy hour, threw multiple team events, and had a holiday party at the W. They have money, they just don't want to pay their developers. Leadership has no idea what development does. While working there we used multiple tools to track our progress, and having a CEO familiar with Github, he was more than capable of looking through our commits, however we had multiple meetings where leadership claimed there was no work being done because their work wasn't being done. Overall this job as a developer felt like half my time was development and the other half fighting a political battle with leadership.
