Pros

I've worked at Volusion for almost 2 years now, and I'm personally still as happy now as when I started. First off, I think Volusion has an amazing work culture. I've worked at companies in the past that have truly struggled in this area. Our culture blows them out of the water. I mean we get to bring our dogs to work every Friday. Come on! Free ice cream and frequent catered breakfasts/lunches and a ton of volunteer/charity opportunities. I do think Volusion takes care of their employees and cares about their success. I know that work life balance varies from department to department here, but if I'm rating the entire company I think overall we've got it pretty good.

Cons

We definitely had our struggles last year (specifically the last quarter). We lost some good employees because of it. I think we realized we had to make some changes, so our founder decided to come back in as our CEO. Since then, we've been having frequent town hall style meetings (with breakfast tacos) where he answers pretty raw questions employees have about the organization and suggests solutions for some challenges we're having. Overall, we're preaching a new culture of autonomy and visibility. That's a really good sign.

Pros

Change in CEO means the company is starting to make strides towards re-invigorating the current brand while investing more time and care into developing emerging technologies and concepts. New CEO is about transparency and autonomy. The company is returning back to it's start-up roots. I work in a basic position but we have recently been empowered to push for new ideas and to make things happen. I love the "just do it" attitude and creative freedom we are finally able to have to make positive changes happen quicker. It's still a struggle to make things move fast, but at least it's getting there. The people truly make this company great. You'll find no finer group of talented, fun, and amazing individuals elsewhere.

Cons

While slowly leaning towards autonomy, Volusion still has an air of "corporate" about it. Much needed changes are either taking years to push through or may never come at all because corporate never approves anything. Employees are held to unintuitive performance standards where ultimately quantity is more valuable than quality. We do not often get the opportunity to pause and think of new ideas, but luckily that is slowly changing. It's a shame we lose extremely talented, and wonderful people to similar companies that pay more (about 25-35% more). Volusion pays one of the lowest rates in the industry and talent is leaving because of it.
