Pros
I would say the only positive from working at ION were the life long friendships made from the few good people that work/worked there.
Cons
So many cons to list, but I will give you the most relevant ones. Hostile work environment, the CEO does not value his employees and it trickles down the management pipeline. Management can be completely condescending and ineffective in managing their direct reports. Many employees, myself included suffered (some still suffering) from severe anxiety. The CEO wants to do everyone's job and doesn't let the experts in their field do what they were hired to do. Working in the industry for over a decade, I've never seen an organization run this way. Employees are dropping like flies due to poor leadership and lack of structure. There is no job security, no raises, no bonuses, and if you are laid off no severance what so ever. There is no loyalties or team camaraderie- Some people within the organization are impossible to work with and will try to throw you under the bus at any chance they get. They will look to point the finger to get the focus off themselves. Zero work/life balance
