Pros

The best part about working at iconic was the incredible people I was able to meet and work with. I had just finished university and had never worked with so many positive and motivated people, the atmosphere was like nothing I had experienced before even compared to my time at university studying sport! What made working there even more enjoyable was that every single person there was more than happy to give me their help and support whenever I needed it, both in relation to work and my personal life. Working there increased my confidence and self belief so much within such a short space of time. Overall the money I earned while working there was good but the skills and and experience I gained was priceless.

Cons

I found it very difficult to balance my personal life with friends and family with working at iconic. If you are looking for a basic 9-5 this job probably isn't for you, however if you are looking for a life changing opportunity to build a career and make a lot of money and you are willing to put in the extra time then you will struggle to find anything better!

Pros

When I moved to Norwich, in September 2014, the first thing I wanted to do was to sort out a job. Something I could get into quickly so that I could pay my bills. I was really just looking for anything: sales, customer service, retail etc. Not necessarily a career or something I could progress in or make something of myself. That could come later when I had settled into my new life here in Norwich. However, what I found here at Iconic Event Strategies was so much more than this. Not only was it somewhere where I could make good money and progress professionally, I’ve found that working here has developed me as person. I’ve been in sales for most of my working life. Various companies and various products. Places I’ve enjoyed and others not so much. I’ve seen lots of places that promote pushy and aggressive methods and scare tactics caring more about profit than people, that being customers or employees. I can honestly say I have never been in a more positive environment than working with the lovely people here at Iconic Event Strategies. The continuous support I've had from everyone here has been incredible. The relationships I've built with my colleagues here is so great, they're like my best friends as well as business partners, which to me is one of the most important aspects in an ideal work place. I genuinely go to sleep each evening looking forward to waking up and going to work. Something that in my experience is quite unique. So all in all I couldn't imagine a better place to develop my career. Pros. Where to start? The positivity, the people I work with, the manager (Simon Reynolds), the work we do, the training, the overall atmosphere, the professionalism, the support from everyone, the business trips either national or international, the competitiveness, the bonuses (cash, dinners or new suits, all from Simon) and most of all the life changing opportunity that's laid out in front of me.

Cons

There are a few things which if not explained properly can be seen as negative. However if the 'why' behind them is understood then not only does it make sense but it is actually a positive. For example we work longer hours than the average 9-5, but we look to achieve more than the average individual in life. Just little things like that but If you want more than the average person you have to do more than the average person. Simple.

Pros

Coming from a healthcare background, i had no experience in sales or marketing prior to working at iconic. I was slightly confused as to what i wanted to do for a career. I just knew i wanted a challenge, I wanted someplace that allowed me to develop as a person. When offered a position i was told by my own family that it was definitely something i could not do, as i was a naturally shy and anxious person who lacked the confidence in communicating with people, most people mistook my shyness as arrogance. Im glad that i took the opportunity, the person i have become due to the constant support and training received by everyone at the office is a complete opposite to what i use to be. No-one that truly knows me can believe the transformation in me. Im more confident, more driven and most importantly i have a clear direction of where i want to go in life. I know with the continuing support from everyone in the office, i will further grow as a person into an independent business woman. Of all the pros of working at iconic such as the dinners, new suits and travelling to other countries such as portugal all expenses paid, the one thing i love the most is having that sense of control over my progression, pay and most importantly building my future as I want it, not as how others see it.

Cons

I really cannot see any cons as i truly enjoy what I do. Others may say its hard work, long hours and it does challenge a person emotionally, physically and mentally. But i want to achieve extraordinary things so I welcome the challenges if it means i develop quicker.
