Insight Global reviews

This company is a complete joke. It all starts with the hiring process. I've heard my bosses say multiple times "oh they don't have the right look." - meaning, they aren't pretty/handsome or skinny or well-dressed. If you pass that test and a couple interviews asking "what you like to do in your spare time," and "what sorority you were in" then you begin your job as recruiter slaving your life away (55+ hours per week) for a mere $33k salary. No overtime. Be ready to work holidays and possibly weekends. You're essentially a telemarketer, calling and re-calling potential candidates all day long. If you don't have at least 60 calls out in a day you are in trouble. You arrive at 7:15 and it's frowned upon if you leave the office before 5:30. Expect a very immature office environment (dancing, throwing things, playing pranks, and interoffice relationships). People are dishonest and cheat their way to the top. The reason you see so many great reviews on here is because you are begged to write a good review within your first few months of working at Insight Global ( I wrote one in month two, raving about how great the company is). You don't realize how bad it is at that point. The other reviews are from contractors, not internal employees. The turnover rate is crazy; I watched about 35 people (recruiters and seasoned account managers) leave over a period of about 10 months. People are typically hired to work here because they are somewhat smart, good-looking, and have a "Type A personality." If you are one of those people, I strongly advise you to use those qualities and find a better place to work. Don't waste your time, I wish I wouldn't have.

Literally the worst experience of my entire life. They hire a bunch of "professionals" that are straight out of college. When I was interviewing for the position they didn't even glance at my resume or ask me anything about my intellect, mostly just what you do for fun/ if your hobbies include happy hours and booze. During the whole process, they describe what the account managers do on a day to day basis, not what recruiters do. They make it seem like you'll be training to become an account manager, then you will become an AM in the first 6-8 months. You show up at 7-7:30 am every morning in business professional attire, even though you sit in an office all day. Girls are told how their makeup and clothes should look and heels must be worn at all times. Guys must wear a suit and tie. During the long day you are expected to conduct as many "interviews" over the phone. Which really consist of cold calling these innocent people and promising a job you know they will never get. It is all about hitting numbers and a popularity/beauty contest. While working here, I was more ridiculed by my outfits and hair, than my actual performance. They berate you down and make you feel like you know nothing. It is a high stress environment that is not professional in the least bit, which is what you get when not a single person above 30 works at this company. The weeks are long, I worked on average 60 hours a week, with very little pay. All in all, it was an awful experience, it gave me stress and anxiety that was not necessary. The turnover rate is very high (most last less than a year) and they want recruiters to post fake positive reviews on glassdoor to make it seem like an "Awesome" place to work. Seriously, avoid at all costs. You learn nothing useful for future career opportunities.
