Pros

I have been with the company for almost 3 years now and I know I have found my home. This place is not for those weak of heart as it takes a true hard working self motivated individual to succeed here. If you put the time and effort into this company, you will be paid back 3-5x fold what you put in. I love the level of honesty in this company and complete disclosure about how we conduct business. We have a structure that allows for learning every single day from a variety of business professionals up to and including the CEO. I have not ever heard of a company that despite being so successful, still hosts a conference to celebrate new accomplishments and where a CEO knows the names of people all the way down to the ground floor of the company. For those that may say negative things, I am sorry. Unfortunately some people are not willing to put in the hard work to achieve the success. If you are an eager, success driven, motivated individual, Insight Global is where you should be!

Cons

The job does require a lot of time to be invested. Upon starting, it is asked that you put your time in to learn about the company and industry which requires a standard 50 hour work week. Compensation upon starting is not the highest, but that isn't the point. The point is to work exceptionally hard to begin a career, not a job, and the success and compensation will come along with it.

Pros

I began working with Insight Global right after college graduation and I really cannot put into words what the company has done for me personally and professionally in the last two and a half years. I took the job because I loved the company culture and opportunity for growth, but in the last few years, I had no idea what the company would become and how proud I would feel to work there. Upper management is truly involved and cares about every single person in the company, including recruiters, account managers, and sales managers. The company takes brand new college graduates and teaches them every trick of the trade and what it takes to be successful. Management opens their home to their employees and takes pride in using the "confrontation model". The CEO and founders of the company are in constant contact with their employees and even personally interview every recruiter for a promotion. Regional managers spend days at a time flying from office to office to ensure that the office is run properly and the employees are happy. Sales Managers and Account Managers take their personal time throughout their week to help mentor and grow recruiters so that each office can grow effectively. Most importantly, promotions are based on hard work and respect within the office. Tenure does not matter, and this promotes a sense of urgency and competition in each office whcih is one of the biggest reason the company is growing so quickly. Off all of my friends and contacts from college, there is not one person I know feels blessed to work for their current company. Most young professionals have already switched jobs several times, feel they cannot approach management, or cannot wait to find a new job. Insight Global gives each employee the opportunity to make an amazing living with great stock options by working extremely hard and holding themsevles accountable to being the best.

Cons

This is not the right job for everyone. You must be extremely positive and have an excellent work ethic to excel at Insight Global. More importantly, you have to be able to step out of your comfort zone, ask questions, challenge management and peers when necessary, and always continue to improve if you want to be promoted and succeed. If you are a looking for a 9-5 job with little accountability or low expectations off the bat, you will not enjoy working at IGI. Many new college graduates with great potential do not want to work hard upfront and do not see success, so they become bitter and leave. These are the types of previous employees that post negative blogs and it is a shame because it is not an accurate representation of the opportunity Insight Global brings to the table.

Pros

I have been working for Insight Global for 1 year and couldn't be happier with the professional growth I have recieved. When I look at my career and professional growth one year out of college as opposed to many of my college friends it's amazing at the difference. I make more money, I have been through a promotion, and I enjoy the people I work with. This is not the case for most of my friends. On top of all of this, Insight Global is continually growing and management is always great about letting you know where you stand and helping you reach your goals.

Cons

Promotions are based on merit, not tenure, so if you're not one to set goals and strive to reach those goals it might not be for you. Also have to be willing to take constructive criticism.
