Pros

The people are great. Everyone is the same age. The company hires people right out of college, (for a reason). I did learn a lot from being at Insight. Like, interacting with different levels of people like managers, VP's and candidates. It improved my confidence for understand business and development. Oh, and now i can make 100 calls in one hour like its nothing.

Cons

You basically are a slave. Work from 7:30 AM to sometimes 9:00PM. Very stressful environment. And you have assigned lunches... I had more freedom when I was 6 years old. You don't even care about the job at the end of the day. You just want to get your numbers up. There is no time to think, at all. This job honestly made me sick. Like, depressed and stressed. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Now, whenever i hear a phone ring.. i run!

Pros

there's nothing positive about this company other than the fact that you immediately have fairweather friends that make you feel like you're in a frat. they underpay all contractors to make "spread" or commission and then lie to their "friends" that are their customers to squeeze more money

Cons

they are unprofessional - underpay ALL contractors and aren't allowed to make less than $250/week on a contractor so they screw the contractor out of getting paid the bosses and executives sleep with the recruiters and account managers they sue you if you leave and try to scare their current employees they sexually harrass you and ostracize you if you speak to HR - they all sleep together when they take their trips down to atlanta

Pros

One can make a good deal of money here if they are willing to blindly follow a system that is not necessarily grounded in common sense. It does require more than 50 hours of work per week if you want to be promoted from the Recruiter role to the Account manager role.

Cons

Bringing candidates into the office to meet with them even though we do not have a job for them is relatively disheartening. Being required to do this 10 times a week is annoying at times. We are required to have at least 45 CPF's (candidate profile forms) per week which is easy however, you have an account manager or office manager constantly asking to see your call sheets and asking how your activity is, it can be very "Micro managed" at times. This "checking in" is something that happens hourly and sometimes more often than that. We are required to dig in for leads or more commonly referred to as "references". When you get the references, you have to call them immediately and we are required to try and set a "cold call" meeting after speaking with them. This is awkward and pushy. During the interview process, I was told that the sales tactics were non - invasive and that we were trying to build relationships with these clients. Completely false. As a recruiter you are also told that this is 'training' for the account management position. To some degree this is true. They teach you how to cold call and how to run meetings. on the other hand, your "account manager" or "mentor" really doesn't care if you get into sales or not. All they care about is whether or not you are filling their positions as quickly as possible. We promise our clients we send of the best candidate and this is false as well. We send over the first candidate that somewhat seems like a good fit. Turn over in the first year is about 60%. They (the recruiter that contacted you) say it is only about 35% but when I asked someone in HR, they said around 60%. When I was there, I saw three recruiters fired after one month for not "fitting the company culture" which means they did not go out and party every night. I also saw people who were doing well but the management didn't "like" them because they were awkward or weren't "fit". Basically, if you enjoy being told and promised one thing, and finding out that opportunity is completely different, then you should pursue this opportunity.
