Volusion Employee Reviews about "benefit"

Pros

Pros

I, literally, have been waiting for this job my entire life. Here are some of the reasons why I feel this way... Top notch manager and team members. My manager really knows the tech side of the business well. I have had 'non-technical' managers in the past. Not the case here. I feel comfortable collaborating with my Manager and look to him for insight into upper level managements potentially rapid changing business priorities. If he suggests a technology related change, I know a) it will work and b) the suggestion is based on the best interests of our team and an understanding of upper level managements current pain points. True autonomy. I am allowed to set direction, build business cases for tool set selection and have support for implementing cutting edge tools and technologies as long as there is a solid business case. Comprehensive Benefits Package. Medical Insurance for myself and my children effective my first day at work. This is a 'real deal' insurance package too, not some package that costs a fortune and covers nothing. Not just 'lip service'. I cannot remember the last time an employer actually paid the bonus that is typically a part of every compensation plan. Volusion does. Employee focused. Everyone knows this is a 'Culture Company'. Cool stuff happens pretty much every week. Watch out for the free ice cream and energy drinks (extra pounds...). People are encouraged to bring their favorite beer and drink a few on Friday Afternoons (as in, EVERY Friday). Flexible time-off policies. I missed work to have two procedures done on my lower back in my first 90 days. My manager was nothing but supportive. Support for Work/Life Balance. My Manager frequently reminds me that he does not expect me to work 24/7 and supports work/life balance. At my level, there will always be challenges with regard to that balance. I leverage the Volusion 'Work from Home' policy (one day a week) as much as possible. 'Crunch time' I frequently work from home. It allows me to be a part of my son's lives even when I am putting in long hours. A flat organisational model with upper level management that are accessible. I brought my sons to work on National bring your kids to work day. They loved it. My oldest boy wants to be a Developer. I mentioned it to the Director of Development here. He took my son and I to lunch and is making time to evaluate my son for an internship. Hopefully my son will have an opportunity to learn and grow here as well. A Company with a solid financial future. I have read reviews from people who are or have been employees stating Volusion is in trouble. I am not at liberty to say how well the company is doing, but I am responsible for producing the financial reports. I take my job and the accuracy of the data I surface seriously. Based on the current and projected growth of the company, Volusion Stock Options already have substantial value. This is the first time in my life I feel the options I am offered have substance. You do not need a Crystal Ball to see the direction of a privately held company that is profitable, has been for a while, and continues to grow. I truly cannot say enough good things about being a part of Volusion.

Pros

I am in my mid-30s and have had several jobs. Volusion is one of the best I've had. It's a great working environment. It seems like there is free food at least once a week. There are a lot of fun activities to participate in. I feel like Volusion does genuinely care about its employees and wants to keep them happy. Benefits are great!

Pros

Good benefits and WFH flexibility

Pros

Team Off Sites Lunches brought in as a Thank you for a job well done Having the ability to speak freely with upper management to fix issues, course correct and incite ideas Fantastic Christmas Parties and Group Picnics Pet Friendly Fridays Benefits and work life balance

Pros

The workplace atmosphere is pretty laid back, which is great for a mid to large company. The HR department does a really good job of making the place seem fun and inviting. The benefits packages are also very good. They also hire a pretty good group of people that really make or break your experience there.

Pros

I had a great work life balance before they fired my boss along with many others. Then I had a great work life balance because nobody was there to assign projects or care. They had great benefits throughout the years. Bring your dog to work was a great perk, which made at least one day out of the week somewhat ok. At one point the people were great. They have all left, minus a few stragglers. Unlimited Paid Time Off was a nice recent perk, but was only a financial decision, so they didn't have to pay out the week of vacation to all of the people who were quitting. I really believed in the company for a long time, but like Chinese water torture - you can only handle so much before you go insane.

Pros

The work environment is relaxed and management doesn't push unrealistic deadlines. The benefits are competitive with other companies in Austin.

Pros

They offered reasonably good benefits for an hourly employee
