Pros

You will meet other people your age. If you like to go out/party/drink a lot, Insight Global is like college 2.0 (happy hours every day, everyone parties on the weekend, sometimes they bring beer into the office). You will also learn how to dress professionally and carry on conversations over the phone and through email.

Cons

Insight Global is a joke of a job... it is not a career. You will get all dressed up to go sit in a call center. A monkey could do this job, it's very monotonous. Where should I start... I didn't really realize how many cons there were until I took a different job with an amazing company. First off, they pay you 30k right out of college... that is $14/hour BEFORE taxes. You'll be extremely micromanaged and there is a lot of pressure to hit unrealistic goals, so most people just end up faking their numbers. It really is a popularity club when it comes to promotions/praise/etc. There is ZERO work/life balance... You will have to be in the office by 7:30 every day (earlier some mornings because you will have morning meetings) and you are looked down at if you leave at 5:00.. so count on being there from 7:15-6:00 every day. In line with the zero work/life balance, your first year you will accrue 8 days of PTO to use, but management looks down on you if you actually take them before you are promoted. If you aren't promoted within a year of being there, you'll be fired. Only one person was promoted within my time there (almost 12 months) and I saw several people let go for not "getting promoted quick enough." Turnover is terrible and they do nothing about it... basically you're not valued as an employee. For example, when you give your two-week's notice, they will tell you to leave on the spot (you'll also get fired if they find out you're looking for other jobs). You're just a number here!

Pros

Lots of virtue signaling. Halloween was huge.

Cons

IG has one of the most toxic workplace cultures I've experienced. Poor leadership, cliquish behavior, constant office drama, frequent verbal abuse, and an excessively loud work environment create a culture where professionalism takes a back seat. Success often seems less dependent on performance than on whether you're part of the "in" crowd. If a favored leader or influential employee decides they don't like you, your contributions quickly become irrelevant. Even when concerns are documented, supported with evidence, and raised through the appropriate leadership channels, employees can find themselves facing retaliation rather than resolution. Although the company advertises a hybrid work model, there is significant pressure to be in the office nearly every day, with employees who don't conform experiencing negative consequences. The company publicly promotes values around inclusion, respect, and corporate responsibility, but my experience did not reflect those messages. The gap between the company's external branding and its internal culture was striking. My direct manager regularly yelled, cursed at me, and made insulting remarks. Sexist jokes and comments from leaders were not uncommon, and management failed to address this behavior despite being aware of it. Instead of investigating concerns or holding people accountable, retaliation appeared to be the preferred response. After many years in the workforce, this was the most unprofessional and dysfunctional organization I've encountered. Before accepting a position, I would strongly encourage prospective employees to read reviews from former employees across multiple platforms and consider recurring themes carefully.
