Pros

This place will make you work very hard and whip you into shape with a good amount of direction from your assigned account manager. They do role plays with you and teach you the basics. They are very good at selling this place as the best place ever to work....

Cons

THE CULTURE. It is extremely toxic and frustrating if you are not an ex-sorority girl or frat star. They recruit people from greek life that have never worked before so you are surrounded by a bunch of clones who are extremely fake. The management either likes you or they don't and if they don't, they pull you aside and claim your "behavior" isn't a fit aka you're not like everyone else. You have to be in at 7:30 and can't leave a minute before 5. You are expected to meet numbers, you are NOT ACTUALLY HELPING PEOPLE. I was forced to call people just to call people to meet my ridiculously high stats. People talk bad about others and rumors spread like wildfire. They make you ring a gong everytime you get someone a job and everyone gets up from their desk to give you a high five... it is a very weird place. last thing... TURNOVER. I should have known from the beginning that this place was bad because I heard that people get hired and leave within a month. I was one of those people... I have never hated a job more. Please be warned.

Pros

Employees become close friends, free breakfast on Friday, if you are lucky you can make a lot of money, once you leave it is easy to find another job because it is widely known amongst other businesses that IG is like working in a sweatshop.

Cons

If you like an immature culture, being micromanaged, and being motivated through fear this is the place for you! Insight Global is a scam to get young college grads who don’t know any better to work ridiculous hours for no pay and be brainwashed to think this is the greatest company in the world. Politics and gossip are a staple of the day to day activities. Hard work will not be rewarded if you are not kissing up to upper management. Management contradicts themselves daily regarding the “rules” and expectations of employees. Employees are not valued and are seen as easily replaceable, and they are not afraid to let you know it. Turnover rate is ridiculous yet they view it as employees who leave are not “hardcore enough for this company”. If you have a 4 year degree you can EASILY find a more fulfilling job where you will be respected and valued. Do not waste your time with this company (more like cult).

Pros

Great Happy Hours and Holiday parties, beer on Friday if you "hit" your numbers, nice office location and building

Cons

-the office management is EXTREMELY young, and it shows -turnover within the first year is around 70%, wish I would have known about this HUGE warning sign -when you talk to recruiters, they sell you on ridiculously inaccurate salary averages. YOU WILL MAKE 30,000-34,000 as a recruiter, terrible pay with 1% commission -extreme pressure to hit numbers so you are expected to be in office before 7:30 am and expect to stay till 6-6:30 at $30,000 -If you are female, YOU MUST wear high heels everyday all day when you are cold calling all day -You are assigned A or B lunch each day, is this high school? -You will be promoted if and only if you are "popular" with the account managers -Atmosphere is that of a sorority/fraternity house (might serve as a PRO to some) but not how I wanted my professional atmosphere to be, but it makes sense as the average office age is 25 yrs old including mgmt When I left the company there were 4 others that left within that same month, which is a lot considering total office size is around 30 people.
