Insight Global reviews

- fraternity oriented culture-- they encourage drinking, expect you to attend all work events and reprimand you for missing out (even if you're a commuter and have to be up at 4:30 to be at work at 7:15 the next day)--NOT professional at all - management pays no attention to you--you're thrown into the "pit" after one measly week of training. They also have a "smile and dial" policy where you have to call every candidate, so often you're calling people who are overqualified for a position, and end up getting yelled at for being incompetent. - no proper training program-- as a technical recruiter you should know tech lingo (C++ developer, java, GUI, etcl. Insight Global doesn't bother teaching you these things and expects you to figure it out on your own--pathetic - they expect you in office no later than 7:30, and you must stay until 5:30 every day - men have to wear white or blue shirts ONLY, as if any other colour is emasculating. - super sexist: women expected to wear heels--I was told to never wear flats....so basically men can be comfortable in their dress shoes while women are certainly not in their heels - another ideological aside--any epressions of feminism, equality or liberalism and you're definitely seen as a bit of an outcast--standing out or being slightly different is NOT appreciated at this abysmal company

Salary is laughable. Benefits are pretty poor. 401k is awful. It is pretty much a 10-12 dollar and hour gig if you break it down. Micromanaged to a "T". Looked down upon if you take any time off, whether that be for vacation or illness. Huge emphasis on alcohol (they use that as a substitution, opposed to a bonus structure). Company is set-up in a pyramid-scheme fashion, upper manager benefits greatly from the base of the company. They tell you that average 2nd year salary is around 90k, only for the top few. They make sure to tell you about how much some people are making, but in actuality, it is only a few people that are making the money that makes it worth working investment banking hours. The commission is pretty bad for what your "spread" is at. There is a universal level of ignorance to the state of your territory, they expect a lot, no matter what may be happening withing your accounts. I felt that upper management did the least and were compensated the most. They over promise and under deliver. You will destroy your car and put on thousands of miles and lose plenty of money on gasoline. You will be pressured to spend every minute with the office, outside the office.
