Pros
**let me start this review by saying they make employees do “positive posts” on here. Each office is required to have employees write something about their experience. Most of the time they ask new recruiters who have been there for 2-3 months that are loving it because it is an extension of college. They don’t understand how terrible it is just yet!** You end up making some great friends because this is an extension of college. Insight global ONLY hires internal employees that have been out of college for <4 years. Oh and you MUST be good looking or don’t bother applying.
Cons
-you have to get into the office by 7:30 AM and you can’t leave until 5. Have a doctors appointment? Sick? You will be guilt tripped for needing time off. -you are required to go to conferences on your WEEKEND. Share a room with someone from a different office that you don’t know. Pay for your drinks and food. Basically a mandatory trip that doesn’t benefit you at all. Imagine being at a trump rally. -you are required to take a first or second lunch as a recruiter. They actually send a list of who goes on what lunch. And be back in an hour OR ELSE. -they say no dating, but a majority of male managers end up dating their recruiters. That seems odd.. your “mentor” eventually can become your significant other! Win/win! -the average age in each office is 23-24. When I left, the oldest employee in the office during my tenor was 31. This is NOT somewhere you can grow your career. Also, the majority of sales managers they promote end up getting demoted if any of their account managers or recruiters complain about them enough. Which is all the time- entitled children. -the only perks they give are red bull and pretzels in the office. I’m pretty sure a “billion dollar company” can provide a free beverage to the employees they make sit in their chair from 8-5! -they always post “voted best company to work for” or “best culture!” I would have to assume they are fake. Similar to when you see every pizza place claim they are the “best pizza in New York!” -management gossips about their employees, makes fun of their clothing choices, hair style.. everything. I have heard it first hand more times than I can count. -you do develop a great work ethic bc you are use to feeling like nothing is good enough. Hit your goals? Not good enough. -none of the sales skills are transferable to REAL sales at companies!! I repeat, none!! If you want to work in tech sales, this isn’t it. Working for a staffing company in sales will NOT get you a sales job at a tech company. You will be stuck in staffing forever. -do not stay if you are waiting for the day they go public. I made that mistake and jokes on me, it didn’t happen though it was promised every hear. -the insurance is TERRIBLE. I calculated I was paying almost 400/month for their terrible benefits!!!!!!
