So incredibly toxic…

Pros

If you want to be stressed and battle coworkers everyday, this is the perfect place.

Cons

Icon rots from the top down. Management has been around for too long - people are overpaid and there is a real need for new leadership here. Senior management in the media and business development departments loath one another and that hatred permeates every single department at Icon. I wish it was just petty gossip but the company is comprised of people that are rooting for your failure. It’s amazing that internal meetings are filled with caustic people that get pleasure from making team members uncomfortable. I’m not even sure what HR even does except enter and politic for the Best Company in CT award each year. No amount of PR will fix what’s wrong with this aging business. It’s not a surprise that Icon was recently spun out from its past owner.

Pros

Flip a coin 3 times...if it lands heads everytime...then you'll be placed in a good team.

Cons

Certain people get a small work load while others are drowned in work. Executives are living in their delusional worlds.

Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. Our employee’s safety is our main concern and our policy is and always has been for employees to use their best judgement during weather events. We are aware of the issue with the specific manager and are addressing the situation with them directly. HR is also reminding all managers that should they need to, they should allow their employees to leave earlier during inclement weather. Further, if you are feel that workload is too overwhelming, we would encourage you to utilize our open door policy and address your concerns with your supervisor, HR department, or someone in upper-management; whoever you feel most comfortable with. This way, we can address the issue and maybe even find ways to help lighten the load.

Pros

Lots of happy hours and events, mostly friendly co-workers, lax environment, casual dress code

Cons

Hard to get promoted, HR says one thing, does another. People always have something bad to say about you. No one is safe from the petty gossip. This company is like no other. The things that go on are unimaginable. Great for first job out of college but definitely not a place to grow within. They’ll full of empty promises and lies. If I have to guess, about 2-3 people a month quit this place during my year and a half here. Only got 2 stars because I met people there that were some of the truest and nicest colleagues but I unfortunately met some of the most unprofessional and toxic people as well.
