Additional Information

This is a known limitation for server-side rendering of PictureMarkerSymbol vs SimpleMarkerSymbol.

Workaround

  1. Create a feature layer using the sublayer from the map service. 
  2. Set the renderer from the map service to the renderer of the feature service. 
  3. Add the feature layer to the map. This allows for the picture marker symbols to load faster.

The following is a sample JSBin workaround: https://jsbin.com/tucisoyode/edit?js,output.
