A very friendly work environment and interesting concept.
Game Tester (Former Employee), Vancouver, BC – January 8, 2013
Pros: decent pay, overtime pay, casual/friendly staff
Cons: nothing really.
I was a temporary video game tester for Volt in Vancouver working on a title for two weeks before heading to college. Shift starts around 7 am with a lunch break in the middle then ending around 3 to 4 pm. Sometimes we pick up more hours to get some overtime which is plus.

Although I have a night job very close to home, I hope to work with Volt again – more... for video game testing to boost up my work skills again as well as maintaining a balanced work life. – less

Contract Job for Apple
Rework Technician (Former Employee), Elk Grove, CA – July 30, 2012
Pros: co-worker and some bosses are nice people
Cons: can be mindless, mandatory overtime going on for 2-4 months, not enough work
A 1 year maximum contract to work for apple as a rework technician. Not the best job but at least your have a job.

Work begins at 730 am with reclaim units until consumer units comes in. Test them for all functional errors to find any as well as reading customer complaint to try and duplicate the error. Process units as necessary. We will either have – more... to replace the unit, repair and retest, or send the unit back as either "No Trouble Found" or "Abused/Beyond Repair."

Management is okay for the most part and can be understanding. My co-workers for the most part is diverse and they are pretty cool.

Hardest part of the job just making sure you can finish before 330 pm because sometimes we get a lot of units. Other than that this job is very easy. – less

Goal Oriented workplace with a fun and outgoing atmosphere.
Call Center Representative (Former Employee), Gilbert, AZ – June 11, 2013
Pros: motivation tactics (such as games, prizes, and benifits), set schedule, and great training tools
Cons: healthcare and short breaks
Volt was a great place to work. The people were energetic and very goal orientated. It is a diverse workforce with many different ways to succeed. I learned a lot from being able to utilize my grown skills of active listening and adapting to different personalities to handling a heavy call volume calmly. The management at Volt was incredible. They are – more... excellent at motivating the sales team to keep them goal orientated. I love the people I worked with, we were a diverse team. People from all walks of life, so to speak. The most difficult part of the job was caring for the occasional caller who seemed to want to be unhappy. My most enjoyable part of the job was the fun I had keeping up with the top sellers and the benefits related to making sales. It is a great place to have fun and friendly competition. – less

San Jose Gardens was a fun place. Working with the tenants and helping them to answer their questions.
Fremont, CA-Temporary Assignment (Former Employee), San Jose, CA – June 5, 2013
A typical day at work was busy, since we were working with annual certifications for the tenants for the Section 8 Housing. I earned how to deal with 35 customers per day. My co-workers were beyond nice. There was nothing that I couldn't handle in the office or with the customers. I enjoyed every single day working there.

Volt has helped me find a full-time position.
Warehouse, Shipping/receiving (Current Employee), Tempe, AZ – June 4, 2013
Pros: free lunches now and again
Cons: very unprofessional co-workers
I initially applied at Volt workforce Solutions in October of 2001. After a lengthy process, I was able to get my drivers license back and was hired by Rockford-Fosgate thru Volt. Currently, I am on assignment with Womack Machine Supply and Womack has a hiring freeze going on. I am tired of "temping around" and wish a full-time position

A staffing company. Employed to work at Phoenix International as a Production Specialist, testing products.
VOLT field employee deployed (Former Employee), Fargo, ND – May 31, 2013
Pros: the pay is a lot better than that of housekeeping.
Cons: the maximum duration of employment is three years; aftre which, volt no longer keeps the employee.
A section is assigned by the Team Lead. I pick up requisite items and go right to work. Sometimes I have five or six testers at a time; depending on the type of products. At the end of the shift I clean up and arrange things neatly and in order for the next shift.

My computer skills are too basic for a place of this nature; where every operation is – more... computer-controlled.

Phoenix International is a John Deere's subsidiary and has a reputable management.

My co-workers were very nice and helpful; except for one that wanted me out at all costs, as soon as I unguardedly let him know that I was both a Chemistry graduate and a Radiologic Technologist. He, without mincing words, told me, "this place is not for you; and you need to find your niche or I'll make you." And he did. Any night I worked with him was a nightmare. I went home with tension headaches. That is why I had to resign.

The hardest part of the job was the chambers where the man in reference is in charge. Sometimes he would alter the set parapemeters after a chamber has started running so that I would start afresh.

The most enjoyable part of the job was to see my metrics sometimes go over a hundred percent; when I am testing products. – less

This agency did have very good communication. Many of my concerns often went unanswered. Once your assignment is over they do not give you another assignment.
