Ion Solar Reviews

Leadership is terrible and it stems from the very top, Matt Rasmussen. If you’re really wondering what type of person he is, don’t take my word for it, just google “Matt Rasmussen scam” or “Matt Rasmussen reviews” or “Matt Rasmussen Thrive”. He is one of the most unethical business owners I have ever met. His last company, Thrive, was investigated by the FTC and the FTC named Thrive and Matt & Dave Rasmussen in a lawsuit that settled for 27 million dollars!! Yeah, these guys settled! The lawsuit points out how they scammed thousands of people of their hard earned money... like millions of dollars! Preying on the weak. And why did the FTC name Matt Rasmussen personally??? Because he trained the scam. Before ion changed their name, there were hundreds of horrible reviews from customers and employees alike. What surprises me is how ion is actually still in business. The merger? Haha what a joke. We were all told 1+1 = 5 or 7 or whatever Matt thought he needed to say to encourage people that it would get better. Business is worse than before, profits are lower than ever, and that means more yelling by... you guessed it, Matt Rasmussen. Yelling at employees must be one of his past times, he really seems to enjoy it. Maybe it gives him a sense of power, who knows. About the same time as the merger, they really started paying huge sign on bonuses for recruiting sales people. They’ll pay 10-15 thousand for anyone with a pulse and some solar experience. And if you look good and sell them a story of how good at sales or how many guys you can bring? Try $150,000 sign on bonus for one guy! Haha the best part is, that guy is a total snake... and he out-snaked Matt. He leveraged his guys and asked for even more money after they made sales. He now has a monthly salary, a car bonus, travel bonus, another $50k, a pay scale of $450 per kw, and he makes the difference between his sales guys pay and $450 per kw. Oh, and I’ve both heard and seen Matt Rasmussen directly order his employees to stop sales reps pay if they leave. That’s right, even if they have earned it. They say figure out a way to show that we don’t owe them money. I have seen them screw guys out of tens of thousands of dollars.

I felt like i left at the calm before the storm (May 2015). I honestly am writing this review because I could tell that so many of their reviews from this summer were fake, so i have to do my part and let a true voice be heard. It felt as though Matt Rassmussen and his crew of boys weren't distributing the pay equally to their employees. Maybe they did to their favorite employees, but not the regular working class people. This was obvious from the fact that everyone there probably was making probably making half of what they could at Vivint at any position...except for the the Matt Rassmussen and crew... who are busy are showing off their gated community homes, their new Tesla's, BMW's and Land Rovers that seem to change every 3 to 6 months. Their past is super sketchy too, just google 'Thrive Learning Matt Rassmussen'. Like i said, i left before the calm before the storm, because about 90% of the people that i knew that worked there don't work there anymore. I felt that much of their product/work to their clients was the bare minimum, cheapest solution and possibly unethical.
