Pros

There are None. Ikon has seen it's best days. It's OVER. At one period yeares ago Ikon was a good company to work with. Those days are long gone.

Cons

Ricoh is going to fire everyone. This is a company where old ideas and good ole boys are still at the forefront of Ikons mindset. Promotions are strictly based upon nepitisum and not on ability and progressive ideas. As a matter of fact due to the amount of legacy that exist there, the leadership would not be able to recognize good talent or a great idea to save their lives much less the company. This is a company that allows legacys to move up if they screw up. And this is being done at the cost of the investors. Do not throw good money after bad if you are an investor.

Pros

what were the best reasons to work for IKON should be the question. we had a variety of products and several other services we could provide customers. we were different from other copier companies because our strategy was trying to make a difference between us and the japanese compaines making our product

Cons

we have now become a distribution arm for a japanese manufacturer and all they are interested in is moving hardware product at low prices as compared to maintaining the levels of profitability that ikon had always had in the past. nobody cares any longer. most upper management made alot of money on the stock and dont even work anymore

Pros

good people, good work balance culture, but they do that so they can pay you alot less then the market.

Cons

poor pay, little advancement opportunities, top mgmt receives 99% of the benefit for the sweat equity of the line workers. middle management largely incompetent in my opinion. because they pay so far under the market, they can't get qualified managers to come work for them, so the whole place suffers. plus, the company mood or culture is terrible. higly negative cynical place to work I found. Nobody wants to work in a place like that. don't go to work here if you are interested in building a career.
