Pros

The experience working for Volt corporate may be different than working in a branch or as a temporary employee, but I've found the people friendly and supportive, the compensation fair, with a great deal of communication and respect. My department in particular is one of the warmest and most positive places I've ever had the pleasure to be employed. Career Opportunities - I've been considered for a promotion within the first two years of employment; results may vary in different departments Communication - regularly scheduled company conference calls keep everyone in the loop Compensation & Benefits - more than fair in my experience Employee Morale - Everyone I work with seems content and eager to do a good job even if it means working hard Recogniton & Feedback - companywide recognition is reserved for recruiters and branch managers, but my department does its own informal recognition that satisfies me Senior Leadership - I've found them to be sharp and savvy in my daily dealings with them Work/Life Balance - this is one of the few areas lacking Fairness & Respect - At corporate at least, everyone is treated fairly and with respect

Cons

The primary one is an old-fashioned policies regarding flexible hours and telecommuting prevented a higher rating for work/life balance.

Pros

Volt's diversified client list allows field employees a variety of job opportunities. Clients may range from the local mom and pop shop to a fortune 50 client. Field employees have the ability to work with the latest cutting edge technologies allowing them to continue building their resume. Volt has a good track record of redeploying field employees to new assignments. Pay rates are always market competitive. Contract lengths are typically 6-12 months in duration. Many of their clients will actually offer the field employee full time employment after the contract period is completed. Volt-in-house employees are always given a chance for upward mobility. Sales and recruiting partner to meet client goals. Volt promotes from within. I have always had an open door policy with my boss. I have not seen a lot of attrition from the FTE's. Most of the people who work on my team have been with Volt for over 10 years. Senior leadership mentor the less experienced employees.

Cons

Contract work is not for everyone. Because of the nature of contracting, an assignment is not always possible. Working in the staffing industry can be a challenge. As the economy struggles many companies implement hiring freezes. Work/Life balance can be challenging at times. When big projects pop up you will be expected to step up to the plate, but you will be rewarded for your work.

Pros

Nice people, I met such nice people here at Volt.

Cons

Our benefit is very poor compare to other companies. Also, we don't have vision. Probably, benefit is the one people do not like about the most.
