Pros

I liked a few of the people, yet you don't really get a chance to get close with anyone because the turnover/firing rate is inappropriately high. They make cool and quirky products, but DO NOT let that fool you into taking a job offer from here! If I could, I would give negative stars and have one of those news investigative reporters called just to show people how bad this place really is!

Cons

Where do I begin? Let's start with my first week where I saw MULTIPLE people get fired, on the spot and without cause. That alone made me realize that I made a bad career choice and deeply regret me leaving my last job to come work for such a chauvinistic dictator of a boss. He demands so much of his employees, yet gives his employees what? Meager salaries? Poorly funded benefits? Five PTO's a year? And that's including sick AND vacation! Not to mention, he tracks your every move in and out of the building with his little key FOBs (Oh and he definitely checks these to keep everyone in line. He has no trust in his employees and appears he's looking to purposely fire people.) Trust me, even if you "do your job efficiently" as some of the nicer (clearly written by the CEO) ratings have put it, you are no safer from getting fired than the person sitting next to you doing absolutely nothing. He plays favorites, specifically to men. I am a woman, and there are times I tried to address serious issues some of my customers were having and he would just act derogatory and nasty as if I was doing something wrong. I take any job I have very seriously, so to be talked to in such a manner was just plain disgusting. The only people he seems to keep around are people who literally suck up to him. Maybe these employees have never had a job at a real company and don't realize how much they are being used and diminished at ICUP? I will give the employees that benefit of the doubt, because I don't want to bash them. They are not the problem-it's strictly management. In conclusion, I hope you read these reviews before considering an interview or job offer with ICUP. I PROMISE you that these reviews you are reading are truthful (and I hope you can decipher which ones are just written by the CEO and his suck up brigade). I would NEVER want to have someone make the decision I did and accept a job here. Even if you are looking for temporary work, you are better off working at Wal-Mart.
