I was suggested to go for a job where a company asks to do volunteer jobs. Is there any research on how does it affect on company's success if customers knows that the company won't pay salary to trainees vs companies who pay to the trainees? I guess it depends very much on the country you live.

Do not do it. It's a horrible idea!

...a company asks to do volunteer jobs...the company won't pay salary to trainees... Do you mean that you consider it to be volunteer work because it's unpaid or that it's literally classified as volunteer work? Referring to it as both volunteer work and training is confusing. Some details about what this volunteer/training is and how it works would be helpful.

The part that's killing me here is the word 'Volunteer'. This isn't what volunteering is. Volunteering is working on a website for a cause you believe in, or donating your time at a shelter to help people out. The word you're looking for is 'Unpaid Internship'. In which case, you can generally expect to get the bottom rung of competency, since people with options generally choose the options that will pay them to work.

Company success will not matter in this case.
A company will not succeed or fail based on having volunteers. There are lots of charitable business where CEOs make millions (if not billions) and the majority of their staff could be volunteer. Volunteer for a cause, not a job. If you have a job an also want to volunteer fill your boots, but don't think for a second it'll help get you job or determine a companies success.

I suspect this isn't what the OP is asking. Reads to me like the company is saying "Work for us for free and we'll train you." (for some definition of the word 'train'). It's not about volunteering for a cause.
