Pros

- Culture (we are all splitting images of each other, hangout outside of the office every day, you get to work with your best friends - Clear guidelines on what needs to be done for daily/weekly numbers, promotion path, etc - Public role-plays to improve face to face sales interactions with feedbacks - Weekly pay

Cons

- Describing the day to day for account managers - Relying so heavily on "you can be so successful/wealthy" when the industry is one of the most unreliable in sales. - Pay; you receive next to minimum wage for a full-time role and only get bumped to 50k at the 6month mark. - There is a massive divide between the Account Managers and Recruiters (lot of down talking, negativity, arrogant, when its also their first job out of college and they have no leadership experience, we witnessed about 1 person crying/melting down a week. - Only match your 401k up to $250 - Commission for "Professional Recruiter" to Account Manager is almost non-comparable. - Incredibly micro-managed from the Recruiter position to the AM position - During interview process - they don't elaborate on what you will be doing day to day as a recruiter or that you even start out as a recruiter*** - Your hours, on average will be 7 to 7:30AM to 5-5:30PM with no "Off-Switch" once your into AM.

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.
