Insight Global reviews

Insight Global is notorious for finding preying on individuals that are unsure about their next step. Notably, they target collegiate athletes and fraternity/sorority members. This is shown heavily in the company culture of "optional" happy hours, gossip, and poor management. Oh also, you will be making 33,000 a year. Equates to roughly 15/hr. You will learn how to be a high volume recruiter, wether you like it or not. You have weekly performance reviews (like ???). Will be publicly praised and publicly shamed. "Only promoting from within" is used as a recruiting tool. However this is ridiculously counter intuitive. Only "top performers" will be promoted. These promotions end up with managers that have little to no people skills, and typically 0 management experience. This only allows for toxicity to grow and spread its roots. Just because you are good at your job does not mean you are good with people. The Greek Life esque culture is sickening, as the offices form cliques, which lead to gossip, work place bullying, and pushed alcohol abuse. You will be forced to work overtime, or else your "Path to Promotion" will be jeopardized. Keep in mind you start at 7:30 and end at 5:00 already. You are only given a 30 minute lunch break as well, which you typically will take at your desk.

First, a great portion of the positive reviews on here are staged reviews (each month a handful of employees from different offices are involuntarily required to write a positive post of Glassdoor, screenshot their submission, and send it in to meet a quota of positive posts and outweigh the negative. I believe this is absolutely absurd as it gives people (like me who reads reviews of here for true insight into a company before accepting a role) false information. Second, when you are contacted by the corporate recruiters, you are told it is for an account management role but what you aren’t role is you start as a recruiter and can take months if not up to a year to reach an account manager role and that is if you decide to stick it out and cold call more than you can imagine. Management gives you the impression that if you hit a specific quota of numbers you will be promoted to an AM but I promise you it IS a popularity contest. I have witnessed many people work harder than anyone in the office to get promoted and get passed up because they are not as favored in the office. Third, this company is solely based on looks (you will not get hired if you don’t have the “Insight Global appearance and personality (attractive and willing to party at any given moment). The only questions you are asked in the interview are revolved around your social status. Fourth, I promise, you WILL be judged based off your daily appearance (especially as a female); you are required to wear heels everyday, don’t wear clothes that don’t compliment your body, don’t ever wear braids in your hair and make sure you’re looking like an uptown Barbie at all times or you will be called out. And finally (I could continue to go on but I assume you’ll stop reading), this IS a high school environment, the drama is always present, someone will always talk behind your back, it is a popularity and Beauty contest, and always have an office presence with everyone or you will not go far. I hope this helps some of you make a decision and help others from making the same mistake as I did by accepting this role. I was excited that this was the first offer I received out of college and it’s because they snatch you up (some before you’re even out of school so that you can’t see what else is out there). Think carefully before you make your decision. I wish I did.
