Pros

-Great job for someone fresh out of college with no experience who doesn't mind working 9.5+ hour day -Some girls aren't bad looking -Money potential is KIND OF there if you can go through all the BS your first few years

Cons

- Management takes advantage of you by overworking/underpaying - 7:30 am - 5: 00 pm (but most nights are till 6:00 pm ) and they pay you $32,000 base. - Management calls parents to tell them how great of a job their kid (who does that?? only IG.. lol) -Recruiter tells you how awesome it is to work there and how it's like a family and how everyone gets promoted to account manager after 6 months but they don't tell you how many people quit during those 6 months -I can keep going on and on but really this place is not fun. There are other staffing firms that have way better cultures and are more professional than this place. trust me. -All the managers are cocky and like to invite all the young sorority girl that work at their office over to their homes at night for 'wine Wednesdays' (You are a weirdo CH)

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.
