Pros

Teaching and Mentorship- Everyone truly cares about your personal career development and are dedicated to doing everything possible to make sure you will be successful. Your success is 100% in your hands, and if you're willing to work for it, you will exceed every expectation you had previously about your career in every arena. The People- I have met some of my very best friends here, not just in the local office I work in, but across the country. I look forward coming to the office everyday because of this, and having such an amazing support system is so important to my success and overall happiness. The Opportunity- It's truly one-of-a-kind. Promotions are based purely off of performance, the commission is uncapped, you get a RAISE in your base salary as an established salesperson when most sales companies take it away completely; these are just a few examples. At first, it seemed too good to be true, but I came to learn that anything is possible as long as you want it and are willing to work for it. We're only just beginning- The growth we have seen in only 12 short years is phenomenal, and we show no signs of stopping! Knowing that we only promote from within, I know I will be an integral part of this company long into the future.

Cons

Sales is tough. There are no if's, and's, or but's about it. Insight Global has very high expectations for its employees because of the opportunity it can provide. That being said, this kind of work isn't for everybody, and that's OK. It is very fast-paced, there is a ton to learn, and it can be one heck of a rollercoaster ride...but for those who are up to the challenge, it is 110% worth it.

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.
