Pluspunten

Opportunity to work on a variety of projects.

Minpunten

The variety of projects mentioned are the result of strategic leadership that changes regularly. The CEO will tell you one thing one day then something totally different the next. And will chastise you for not doing it. He will constantly belittle you in private and in front of the entire staff. No matter what is promised, it is not worth it and they won't be able to deliver.

We have undergone a huge change in our industry and business in the last 2 years. It has been stressful and difficult, to say that least. I agree with you that it's been a roller coaster and that I'm the guy at the controls. I'm sorry for belittling you. I do not believe that belittling someone is appropriate or the best way to get results in any environment. I'm humbled by your comments. Clearly I've missed the mark and I apologize. Thank you for being part of the team and for your feedback.

Pluspunten

Volacci is like a family. I enjoy working there and look forward to arriving to work each day. A strong Operations team allows us the flexibility to explore new opportunities in the market. People are genuinely kind and interested in me as a person, not just as an employee. We're growing. It's an interesting industry with huge upside. The skills I've learned can go with me anywhere. Everyone seems to genuinely enjoy their job and want to be there. Work at home 2 days per week. Very supportive of personal time and needs. Flexible vacation schedules. Management is responsive to team ideas. A new focus on "ideal" clients has meant more interesting projects and less customer turnover.

Minpunten

Understaffed. We lost 2 people and didn't replace them. There is too much work to do. Benefits were cut recently after a tough 2011. I understand but it's still frustrating.

Pluspunten

If you're looking for a place to learn, this is it. If you want to work for a company where you really make a difference, this is it. Be willing to work your ass off -- you're not going to have time to surf Facebook or Youtube all day: this is a real job. There is no sitting in a corner and doing those few things that get assigned to you. If you want to be "just an employee" go somewhere else. You will be challenged and stressed but when you are done, you will have a sense of accomplishment.

Minpunten

CEO is a great guy, decent human being. However he struggles with interpersonal skills. He can be very demanding and curt - coming off as rude. But then he can turn around and be very generous. He also does not seem to pick up on normal social cues. Below-average wages. The CEO gave us a book for required reading -- I wish he would read this part again: "If I hire an employee at below-market rate, market forces dictate that I'm not going to keep that person forever, and replacement will be more costly in the long run than hiring that employee at the market rate. A high turnover rate is very, very expensive. It also makes it hard to create consistency in the workplace, which can lower productivity, service quality, and customer satisfaction (this is also expensive)."
