Pros
A few people slack off, a couple pass the buck, but it's nothing that they haven't been taught from the top down. Most people at Ion usually are there to work and work hard and are happy cooperating with each other. A lot of people are frustrated with what's going on. There are also free lunches on Fridays (or at least a treat), free snacks in the break room, occasional free swag e.g. office supplies, T-shirts, etc. In addition, the facility is extremely nice, with a prime location in the Provo Riverwoods. The offices and open layout are very airy and bright and the bathrooms are nice. Plus there is a gym with a basketball hoop where you can go shoot baskets. The break room is large and contains a Ping Pong table that can be used on breaks.
Cons
Lots of tension and stress from the Zing Solar-Vision Solar merger in January 2017 culminated in tons of employees getting cut throughout the entire year - a lot for no good reason and through no fault of their own - and the Zing Solar owners fired, as well as any remaining individuals being afraid for their jobs when they shouldn't be. Competent people were/are fired or let go by the Rassmussens simply because they cost too much, and then those same positions are refilled at a slightly lower salary rate with no attention paid to the resulting training/ turnover/ morale costs. There are no raises or bonuses unless, according to Matt Rassmussen, the owner and CEO, you happen to be the "right people in the right situations." Anyone who wasn't a Rassmussen favorite and who got rightful raises were fired pretty soon after; you can do everything perfectly and it won't matter here. Conflicting instructions are given constantly for everything trivial or important and there is nonstop micromanaging so you're always either wrong or barely correct no matter what decision you make and act on as instructed. Pennies are pinched over reimbursing normal employees on their mileage and cutting out goods and services needed by the company, but money is splashed around like there's no tomorrow all over some sales reps, while other sales reps are left in the cold and not paid for their work after earning the sales. Too much emphasis is placed on the trivial satisfaction of free swag and snacks rather than actual lasting rewards for meritocracy. I could have dealt with most of this but for the fact that Matt Rassmussen has little self control or discipline to aptly befit him as a company owner or a leader, and the toxicity of the company culture flows from the top down. When he has any worries or problems with operations or personnel, his first instinct is to find someone to blame and extract his pound of flesh rather than fix the problem at hand. He has no qualms about yelling, swearing at, and threatening people for anything he personally deems an infraction. He does not take much of anyone else's advice on running the business, and conducts Ion Solar as his own dictatorship. He particularly has a grudge for anyone who used to be part of Zing Solar and who was loyal to those owners even if they worked hard after the merger of both companies. If he dislikes you, you will bear the brunt of the blame for anything that goes wrong, he will never reward you for your meritocracy, and you will bear his black mark and personal grudge until he eventually fires you or you quit for your own sanity. If he likes you, you may avoid the above inevitable consequences for a few months to a year or so.
