Immature and Unprofessional

Pros

The company has a relaxed environment which makes it great for kids right out of college. It is a good transition job into the real world. Good work life balance

Cons

Icon has a complete lack of professionalism and maturity. Management is completely out of touch with the day to day work of their employees. They are stuck in the 80s and refuse to grow with the industry. No laptops, no option to work from home. If there is inclement weather, you are expected to come into the office or take a personal day. Their promotions are not based on merit but rather if you completed the process correctly. This “process” consists of essentially meeting with management to beg for a promotion. Worst of all is the toxic environment. The conversations I overheard were completely inappropriate for an office. It starts from the top management with supervisors making sexual comments in work meetings and trickles down to associates calling their superiors degrading names. Steer clear of this company. You'll end up just a number in an inappropriate and unprofessional environment.

Pros

Only reason they get 2 stars is because some of the people that I've met working here are some of the best people I've ever met. Very grateful to have met them. Company outings. If you work in certain departments you get to go to dinners and on trips.

Cons

Overworked and severely underpaid. They expect you to work around the clock without giving you any overtime. No praise if you do anything well but you get chewed apart if you make one mistake. There are a lot of selfish people who work here and will sell you out in a heartbeat in order to keep themselves from looking bad. Upper management is never around and has unrealistic expectations of what they want out of their employees. Worry too much about treating clients right that they don't treat their own employees with a lick of respect. The turnover rate is outrageous. A lot of negativity and nobody wants to be here.

Pros

Great benefits, great people and fun outings.

Cons

Unorganized departments. NO clear training. Overworked and under paid. Expected to work late hours with no compensation. For a beautiful work space too much negativity due to high levels of stress. Hires inexperienced people over promoting within. If you do not have connections there will be no moving up. Very Clicky. HR can be very unprofessional. No communication within management making direction very difficult. 3 re-organizations within one year.
