Good people but pay and advancement do not exist - Anonymous employee ICF Employee Review

I have been at ICF for a decade now. The pay is not competitive and once they lock you into a salary, you can spend years jumping through hoops of promises before you realize you will never actually get more than a 3-5% cost of living increase per year. No bonuses. ICF had highest earnings in 2020 and it all goes to .. well the rumor is stockholders. We didn’t get an extra day off or bonus and they required a impossible to get doctors notes to be reimbursed for home office chairs during the pandemic. I am actually getting poorer.. much poorer, the longer I work here given inflation and lack of pay increases. Lots of promises, low delivery. They hire new staff instead of giving pay increases or listening to employees about issues. I have read through many of the response comments left by ICF to those stating this and that is exactly the kind of wordy run around your get, in person, instead of addressing issues or giving raises.
