Pros

I made great friends.

Cons

Where do I begin....They'll sell you in on the high pay you can make as an Account Manager which wont happen. Even when you become an AM, you'll still be making the same money for about 2 years before you build up your territory. You are basically chained to your desk during 8-5 which they call "A time". You call people are get information out of them even if you know they are not right for the position. When you do get a start, you have to do all of the paperwork that comes with it before or after work. The turn-over rate is insane!! I saw over 20 people quit in my 6 months with the company. Save yourself the misery and work for a different company!

Pros

There is nothing good about this place.

Cons

Most of the reviews on here must be contractors that Insight placed in jobs, and they love their job at the other company they work at. NOT INSIGHT GLOBAL. I knew I made a mistake accepting the job the first day I started. IG is terribly unethical - ladies, you MUST wear heals all day long, and the tighter that skirt the better. Inappropriate relationships between the boss and employees are tolerated. You'll be forced to hang out with your coworkers that are guaranteed to be the worst version of a frat boy or sorority girl. Not only that but the pay is crap. IF, that is IF, you make it an account manager role you will be expected to make at least 100 cold calls per day. And as a recruiter, you will be forced to dance in front of your entire office when you fill your first position. Which will be after the account manager requires that you stay until 10 PM trying to fill the most impossible requirements ever. Work-life balance is not a thing here. This is all after they fly you down to Atlanta to force feed you the IG Kool-Aid (aka fireball and margaritas....but don't be the guy swimming in the fountain or this high class company MIGHT fire you!) If you want a real, professional, ethical work experience do NOT work at IG. ACCEPT A JOB AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Pros

- Fun working environment - Some ability to interact/interface with management and decision makers at Fortune 500 companies - Semi-annual company trips/conferences

Cons

- Call-center environment with metric-driven expectations --> metrics and numbers are 100% valued over ethical and smart business decisions; 99% of your job is being on the phones and making calls - EXTREMELY high turnover - saw over 25 people (about two thirds of the office) quit/resign/get fired during my time there, which was barely 8 months - Only promote from within, so no outside managerial experience which lends to a very one-sided outlook and mindset - "Sink or swim": If you're not 100% with the corporate culture and it's beliefs and processes, you're against it - Recruitment of Insight Global employees is based more on physical appearance and attractiveness than merit and education (simply search "Insight Global" on LinkedIn and you'll see what I mean) - If you value your hard work and effort during your time at school, this is not the best fit for you. I went to a top 20 school in the US and would not suggest this job, as my intelligence and education were rarely able to be fully applied. And if you're not a fan of Greek Life, this really is not the place either.
