Pros

If you want to work at a failing company for a passive aggressive CEO that thinks he's running Google, than this is the place for you. Good at your job? Look forward to stress and being completely overwhelmed as the company's clueless leadership rests on you. Bad at your job? You'll probably still get hired but at a cheap rate and sometimes there will be a karaoke party or cocktail event for you to waste your time at.

Cons

So many things to say here but I'll sum it up with a quick translation of the culture code: 1 -Help breed amazing founders: Find founders that are tech illiterate enough to go with the Volusion platform and try teaching them how to internet. 2 - Keep it simple and move fast: Hack your way through to make complicated things happen quickly for not a lot of money (and do it in not enough time) to try and meet goals that will never be reached. Always solve for the customer: impossible because the only problem customers have is how to leave Volusion in the fastest most efficient way possible. Put people before everything else: Anyone who believes that any company does this is delusional. Volusion is no exception. They are a business. Share openly and are transparent: Not sure how a company is able to micromanage while providing absolutely no general direction whatsoever but Volusion has accomplished that feat. Favor autonomy and ownership: Now you have more responsibility and accountability without the paycheck that's supposed to go with it.

Pros

Mostly Monday through Friday. They have a snack cabinet and energy drinks. The companies HR group is very nice and they will sometimes plan parties and cater lunch.

Cons

Very low pay for sales in Austin. Unless this is your first sales job or you are changing career to sales would advise against working here. Will not make good commission unless you work 55 plus hours and through lunches. They will break you down emotionally with constant meeting about unrealistic expectations. My last months there only one person was hitting their goal out of about 15. They also have performance enhancing plans that made a lot of us quit or apply to other positions.

Pros

Let me emphasize that the pros were the only thing keeping me around and preventing me from being completely miserable at this job. - Unlimited PTO - Flexible WFH Policy (although, I hear this is being re-evaluated)

Cons

Where do I start? Ever since new leadership took over last December, this company has been on a rapid downward spiral. - Leadership has no vision, poor communication and business sense, and refuses to take ownership of their contributions to problems - Low morale; People are laid off every few months in droves, causing people to be fearful of losing their job everyday - Favoritism: People are favored for how well they "brown-nose" instead of their abilities - Weak Leadership: This causes the political game to run rampant, and contributes to a poor work environment - Repeating the Same Mistakes (Just launched Admin Re-skin without ANY user testing - what a disaster! - we made the same mistake in 2013 when we launched the REDACTOR) - and the list goes on and on....
