Pros

-You have the opportunity to make a lot of friends to hang out with, and that will understand the BS you put up with on a daily basis. The bright side of the personality that IG looks for, you end up working with a lot of cool people that have similar interests, etc. -If you've ever wanted to be a part of a cult, look no further. -If you like drinking and partying like you're still in college, this is the place for you!

Cons

-40 hours a week? Try closer to 50+, you don't get paid extra for hours worked outside of 8-5 either. -They try to shove this mentality of how much they care about their "people" down your throats and how we're all a family. But the reality is that as soon as you're out of there, they couldn't care less. -Be prepared to be looked down upon (and talked poorly about/or "confronted") if you don't wear a full faced of make up, 4 inch heels and dress to the nines every single day. -If management doesn't like you, they'll force you into being miserable or quitting by not allowing you to be "client-facing" and encouraging you to "go the pro route" (pro recruiter instead of account manager).. Recruiting for them sucks so much that most people quit once they realize there's no potential there. -Anxiety and stress shoved down your throat 24/7 about things you can't control or are forced to handle because account managers are too lazy to handle it themselves i.e. firing a contractor in the middle of your weekend. - Working yourself to the point of having a mental breakdown, is pretty much encouraged! I hope you like crying in the bathroom. -Remember those mean girls in high school that were shallow, materialistic and two faced? This is where they get hired! -The pay is awful.

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.
