Pros

For those who are aggressive and motivated, iCore offers an environment for you to make your own career path happen. Those who have become successful in the company (including those not in Sales), all have the same ingredients, a drive to succeed. No, at iCore you don't get to work "flex hours" or get 5 weeks of vacation. iCore is all about success, and to be successful it requires a lot of effort and drive. iCore rewards employees in promotions, company wide recognition and awards.- All of which are always well deserved to the recipients. You are given the opportunity to not just become a number at a large company. iCore offers everything all the reviews mention: Career growth, financial growth and personal growth. In the short time I have been employed here I have grown personally and professional because the environment works for me. I enjoy seeing my day fly by and not being bored. iCore offers challenges and growth. We are a work hard, play hard group!

Cons

-Strong personalities can often be challenging to work with, but everyone is still professional. It is what you make it. -Don't come here looking for everyone to become your next best friend, this is a business not a sorority. -Be prepared to work a lot- time management is everything here. -Every department can be under a lot of pressure at the end of the month

Pros

Some of the hardest working young employees you will ever meet!

Cons

Upper management is unreasonable and unwilling to listen to outside influences even if you have a great amount of experience in your role. Too much power is handed to the Executive team who knows little to nothing about the areas they manage (particularly in Finance) and many GAAP guidelines are failed to be followed or heeded, the accounting is often "creative". 90% of the sales team is completely unethical and flat out lie to potential/new customers. Customer service is not a priority, only revenue is. As long as you know who to brown nose with, you'll get promoted and but on a pedestal. Employees are micromanaged to the point they are incapable of self regulation and supervision if they've been there for a long time. Last but certainly not least, there is absolutely no work life balance and god help you if you have a family and family members who for various reasons have special needs. Be prepared to be expected to work 10+ hours a day and be looked at as "not a team player" if you don't. The reason for the long hours? A technology company who expects you to perform at ridiculous rates with horrible hardware setups and outdated software. You cannot succeed here while you don't have the tools or support from management.
