Pros

Young crowd, fun staff, 3 company outings, tickets to Yankees games occasionally. Great place to start not so much to finish

Cons

Not many cons, except for the physical environment. Some renovations to the floors would make the environment a lot more friendly. Feels blah

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

They give up and coming recent college grads a chance to build their resumes. That's about it.

Cons

Politics (HEAVY Politics), company does not deliver on promises for career growth opportunity. They play heavily on favorites. Just within the past 12 months alone, ICON has either had more employees quit or released them more than any company I've ever worked for. Just to give you an idea, I've witnessed on MORE THAN ONE OCCASION the company firing employees OVER THE PHONE WHILE THEY'RE ON VACATION. Just to give you an idea. I wouldn't be surprised if all their good reviews were just plugs from current HR people. Not to mention, at times, you're required to stay past the time you're allowed to leave without any extra compensation or overtime.
