Pros

Contracting for a large & well-respected/known company, occasional team outings.

Cons

Excessive & ineffective micromanagement, poor management in general, little to no oversight from Insight Global, lack of basic office supplies, no opportunities for career growth, poor work/life balance, strong pressure work (even in the case of illness or inclement weather), poor (barely above minimum wage) pay.

Pros

-They hire people straight out of college -You can make a lot of money if you give 100% of your life to this company

Cons

I could write a book on the downside of working at IG. The money isn’t worth working for a company that makes you SO miserable every day. - You can not accomplish everything they ask of you in a 40 hour work week, and half of what you HAVE to do every week is drink with clients that are twice your age that you have nothing in common with on your personal time (not getting paid for it) - No matter how successful you are you will never be praised without a follow up of what you still need to improve on - The micromanaging is disgusting, you will be confronted for not answering a phone call on the first ring. The stress and anxiety is not worth it. - EVEN IF YOURE HOME SICK you will Be required to work remote. I was home with a migraine and I had 9 calls from the office in one hour. You will never ever truely have a day off once you’re promoted to sales. - You are pressured into drinking constantly and if that’s not your thing you are publicly embarrassed by management. You’re frowned upon if you’re not at every company happy hour and you have ZERO PERSONAL LIFE, every single person including my Sales and Regional managers wanted to know every aspect of my life because they’re so terrified if you’re doing something that isn’t centered around Insight Global that you are interviewing elsewhere or going to quit -Gossiply cliquey leadership, constantly try to manipulate you into tattling on your peers -Extremely immature management, constantly changing the requirements - They constantly preach “follow the process” but even if you do every single thing right, you’re selling staffing and people are unreliable and back out of interviews, decline jobs, or clients change requirements. You have no control over your success (they’ll tell you otherwise). Majority of the placements you make are through luck

Pros

I met a few friends who have also left now--the energy of the office is young, but the people themselves (for the most part) are unintelligent and self absorbed.

Cons

It's all about favorites. Leadership travels to meet different offices and talk openly about sleeping with the recruiters and Account Managers within the company. Girls are told how to wear their hair, makeup etc--and what color it should be. Huge popularity contest for promotions, and intellect isn't rewarded but rather who you know and how many "friends" you make.
