ION Media Networks Reviews

Owned by a hedge fund which really only cares about them making a profit. This means your position will be reduced to the lowest staff available. So you may end up doing the work of 2 -3 people. DO NOT expect a raise for something as simple as cost of living. Some people have worked for 7 years without a raise for cost of living adjustments. Which means if you start the company for 30K and 5 years later you will be making 30K while inflation rises thus decreases your buying power. When you ask for salary you should ask for enough to get you by knowing the chances of you making more down the road is slim.

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
