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

Getting to go out with clients to different events and dinners. They have training.

Cons

They do not treat people coming over from the outside fairly, only the people who work their way up internally. There is a person in charge of a file everyone works out of who picks and chooses his favorites and makes the rest feel like an outcast. There is absolutely no communication if there is an issue how you are doing your job. Everyone will negatively talk about that person rather than help. There is a manager there who has an unacceptable attitude and will tell you you can't do the job without offering help. No sense of team spirit.
