Pros

This job is what you make of it. If you’re determined to get promoted and be in Sales, they will give you the tools to do so. Management encourages Recruiters to get promoted as fast as possible (the sooner you get promoted, the more money the company makes).

Cons

This job is certainly not for everyone, and they don’t want it to be. They specifically hire extroverted, young, attractive kids fresh out of college that love to party and want to get rich quick. If you want to keep your head down at work or want to have a personal life separate from work, you will feel left out quickly. They want everyone to be best friends with everyone and eat, sleep, live, breathe Insight Global. The turnover is high and not just because recruiting is tough. The company culture just isn’t inclusive/laidback at all. They preach how “cool” everyone is but they work you like a dog and want the weak ones to fall between the cracks and leave. If you want Greek life after college, look no further. You’re basically a pledge until you get promoted and then you’re officially a part of the Insight Global cult.

Pros

If you are competitive and actually want to make money, the culture here is unmatched. They train you incredibly well from day one, so you never feel lost. The promotion path is super clear you literally get out what you put in. My team has been incredibly supportive and everyone genuinely wants to see you win

Cons

It's an absolute grind, not gonna lie. The hours can be really long, especially during your first year when you're trying to build your book of business. If you hate cold calling or can't handle high-pressure metrics, you probably wont't survive 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.
