Pros

Potential to make huge commissions at an early age, although it starts very low (they say to get you motivated).

Cons

The company profits off your hard work. They work you like a dog and will always tell you to improve. They monitor your stats each week and will dangle a promotion in front of you, sometimes with no real promotion to give. Unless your start in a brand new office, the biggest clients are already taken and you have to fight for small clients. Also be aware that most these reviews are from contractors that Insight global hires, not recruiters. That said, they make recruiters write positive reviews and force them to send out a link to contractors that got jobs to write reviews too. Most contractors will then write it because they think it will help them get another contract. The atmosphere seems fun at first, they encourage drinking and socializing. Gets old and pretty depressing quickly. not worth the possible high pay because you learn no skills to bring to a new company. If you can stay your whole life, which no one does, it should be avoided.

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.
