Avoid - Sales ICIS Employee Review

The culture, daily support from coworkers and management alike, opportunities to travel, opportunities for personal growth as well as professional growth, flexible working schedule, benefits. I have worked at this company for almost two years now, and I have YET to have a bad day. I owe it to the CONSTANT support from management, as well as the support the editorial team gives me daily. I have worked in many roles, and been a part of many teams, but I have NEVER seen a culture like the one at ICIS. The editorial team is strong and supportive, and my management is invested in my personal and professional development. Not only have I received support from management as I learned my role, I have also received an IMMENSE amount of support from the editorial team as a whole. I can't think of a single person on my team that I wouldn't be able to call and ask for help. Actually, I believe I have turned to every single person on the editorial team for some type of support, at some point in these past two years. Management continues to impress me as I learn my role and want to expand my learning. Every opportunity I have been given is one that I asked for. I have YET to be denied any form of growth or advancement within the company. When I first joined ICIS, I expressed an interest in traveling to conferences to build connections within the industry, and management has given me every opportunity imaginable to foster that interest. The benefits include competitive pay, tuition reimbursement, and a flexible working schedule – 2 days in office, which you get to pick. The office itself is extremely nice and it is obvious management had employee comfort in mind when they leased it. I cant thank ICIS, and management enough for fostering such a great work environment for its employees.

There are absolutely ZERO cons, and I am not just saying that.

Good initial sales skills training, Nice work life balance, Well respected data & market experts, Sales Enablement support. A great platform to learn skills & get experience so you can earn more money elsewhere after 18-24 months.

Sales leaders talk about high performance but no one really does it, if you do it great, if you dont no one cares. Its a grind daily, churning out renewals. Sales leaders talk about performance and say its the important thing, except at the end of month/qtr/year (so all the time) when all they want to hear about it when is the deal coming in and for how much. Salary very average and targets re quite high so making good commission, pretty unlikely. The excellence club is quite funny, they suggest you plan for it, but the reality is its a lottery, even if you smash your number and deliver 'High performance' it comes down to have you been before (if you have, probably not going again) and have you brown nosed the Head of Sales enough. If you get to go, its a very nice trip, but dont plan on it.
