Pros

Opportunity for advancement. If you can tolerate the abuse and exploitation you may be able to leave and leverage some new skills at a normal company where hard work and conscientiousness can be rewarded over the long term.

Cons

Ownership and senior management is fueled by manipulation and mind games under the delusion it will bring out the best in employees. Meaning, employees will tolerate constant duress under a cult-like atmosphere where everyone must mirror the “mindset” of the narcissistic Tony Robbins worshipping owner. Anyone not buying in will not last.

Thank you for your time in providing feedback. It allows us to improve. At Icon Foods, we are committed to promoting from within. We believe this not only helps individuals grow in new skills but also ensures they are duly rewarded. We have not received any complaints of abuse or exploitation in this regard. We expect high standards and core values from each individual employed with Icon Foods. These include a growth mindset, a need to contribute, trustworthiness, a positive attitude, and energy and passion. We have taken some of this advice by making internal transitions and hiring a third-party HR company. We believe in continuous growth and investing in our employees. We apologize that you felt like it was an endless self-improvement seminar. We understand that our methods are not for everyone.

Pros

I've watched the reviews over the last few months to a year, and being a current employee I can say that the concerns have been addressed and management has pointed the ship in the right direction. It's an atmosphere with a great (current) team that has both fun and gets the job done with support. Expectations are high because they are growing, so if being self-motivated and being willing to help others isn't your style, then this might not be the place for you. However, if a team atmosphere with incentives, management acknowledgments, and a supportive advancement style is your style, then I would highly recommend applying.

Cons

Only three dogs in the workplace. Needs more dogs. Also, not many good pizza places around.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. While we're not perfect, we place a high importance on continuous improvement and growth, not only for the company but also for the people, especially the leadership. Your feedback contributes to our ability to not only grow but grow in ways that are important to the employees. It sounds like you should get a dog to join the Icon Foods canine community 😉.

There are no pros to working here.

Cons

This place is a nightmare. The CEO is a complete narcissist who talks incessantly about their leadership skills but treats employees like garbage.
