Pros

The only pro to working for this "company" is that there are some lovely people trapped there.

Cons

This is commission only. Pay no attention to the variety of position he posts online, no matter what position you apply for you will find yourself miserable outside the range trying to bleed money out of shoppers as they pass you by. You are not helping the charities you will represent, it's all run by a company called credico for care to give and we'll, we all know how shady care to give are. It's commission work as well, 2 out of 10 people will make the advertised salary and no you will not progress in the time scale advertised. There are people still working there after years of "I'll have my own office in 18 months Simon told me" don't be naive and AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Pros

Great company in terms of the way the business is run. Simon is a charismatic leader and inspires his team day upon day. Great working environment, and loved my job, and gained a tonne of valuable skills. Maybe a future option for me but just the wrong timing. Massive opportunities in terms of earning big money and developing into a business owner. Also great opportunities to socialise out of hours as everyone gathers at the pub on Fridays, and for those who have had a productive and successful week before there's winners Wednesday's where Simon takes those out for a drink and a bite to eat.

Cons

Long hours and requires a few small sacrifices but necessary ones if you're looking to develop you're career. Nothing too major and the sacrifices are worth it.

Pros

First thing, if you are looking for a normal 9-5 job Iconic is not the place for you! If you are looking for something more then it could massively impact your life. I was a fresh university graduate down in London and I was looking for a career, I was in the classic catch 22 situation of having a degree with no experience. Big companies want experience, but you can't get experience if people won't give you a shot. So I came for an interview at Iconic Event Strategies and I met Simon Reynolds. I've never been so impacted by meeting someone and not before or since have I ever met someone so genuinely excited about life. I had to know what it was all about and I feel in love with the business. I moved my life from London to Norwich in a heartbeat. The environment of being surrounded by like minded ambitious people, the bond of everyone supporting each other, having no politics or he said she said and the opportunities to grow and develop professionally and to learn how to be a manager and the earnings that come along with it. I can honestly say meeting Simon changed my life and I have never worked in a better environment, and the skills I learnt will stay with me for the rest of my life. The relationships built, the incredible experiences and the life lessons are invaluable. If you are looking for skills, experience, a good working environment, sales, customer service, pr, training people, interviewing people, team management or office management and regional and national management Iconic offers all of these opportunities.

Cons

Just like in life nothing comes free. The more you put in the more you get out. If you want to have more you need to sacrifice more. If you don't want as much you don't need to give up much. There are only cons if people's goals don't match their actions

We're glad that we were able to help you out of your catch 22, we've always believed talent and natural enthusiasm is far more important than a degree and as such have been able to work with some incredibly driven individuals such as yourself.
