Volusion reviews

I left Volusion a few months ago and held a leadership role. The company is continually laying off people and is highly political. Clay tends to talk a lot about other co-workers and has limited vision for the company. The product is outdated and even with the new platform, the product is unstable and customers churn at a high rate. To outsiders, much of this isn't visible. Leadership tends to keep things hidden and isn't transparent enough. It's sad because there was a time when things were better. There are plenty of other choices in town that will treat you better, pay you more and have a better culture. Take a look at Bigcommerce if you want to work in this space. Retailmenot is a great place as well.

-Poor compensation in regards to the industry standard -Low benefits and culture. The company is split between two buildings with little to bring them together. A snack wagon is used in lieu of real benefits with lack luster invest intended to lull the Volusion masses into putting up with occasional sub par treatment. With that being said, my time at Volusion was mostly enjoyable -Fair treatment across departments. My department was encouraged to think of itself as it's own entity against the others, better than the others. In addition to this, the duties of the department and pressures put upon it by upper management created an atmosphere of fear in that if you were to look up from your screen or read the occasional news article, you might be berated with passive aggressive remarks. All of this, under the guise of playful teasing that would cause you to always be on edge, like a dog that has been beaten one too many times. Once again, overall, decent company. But I think I do have a form of PTSD that has carried over into my current work environment
