Out of 17 ICM Partners employee reviews, 27% were positive. The remaining 73% were constructive reviews with the goal of helping ICM Partners improve their work culture.
Literally need to get better at everything.
Listening to their employees rather than dictating to them. Actually caring about the individuals well-being rather than using them for their own personal gain.
People are verbally and mentally abused daily.
Despite having more experience than most assistants and despite demonstrating a clear added value to the department and my boss, I am only marginally paid more than most assistants and have not been given a track to promotion.
Everybody is nasty to eachother.
The company needs to be destroyed to change.
The assistants should have community snacks. At many competing agencies of the same size, this is a no-brainer. There should be more perks including discount programs, free lunches, etc that other competing agencies offer as well. Assistant bonuses are also low compared to friends at other agencies.
It was a joke like the company is.
Everything is going wrong and everything can be improved.
Talent dept. is run inefficiently. There is no organized system for avail checks, and it can take 48 hours for a casting director to receive a response. The dept. does not retain hot young clients, only legacy clients. Young agents aren't included on high-profile client teams. No impressive signings
The treatment of non-partner employees can be appalling. Some bosses don't mentor their assistants, and I've heard even some agents have to track their whereabouts with department heads. Also some agents are elitists who judge others without actually getting to know them.
