Pros

You can meet some nice friends

Cons

I really wish I read the 1-star reviews before I accepted the job. I didn't know my life was going to plummet after taking this role. Generally speaking, they praise that Insight Global has the greatest culture and work environment which I believed during the interview process and my first month there. It is a literal cult and the culture is college 2.0. I liked some of the people on my team but when you are a recruiter you are at the bottom of the barrel and you are treated as such. It wasn't until we started going in the office once a week that I realized how superior the Account Managers, Pro Recruiters, and Sales Managers feel they are. They will literally look down on you and treat you like a child and make you feel embarrassed at the smallest of mistakes. Each Account Manager has different standards for their recruiters, and while I liked my Account Manager as a person she would severely micromanage me and talk down on me constantly. Any mistake made would result in a scolding email sent to you and upper management. You are extremely overworked and if you do not hit your numbers they will have constant conversations with you about your performance. I cried an insane amount of times due to this job and the stress and anxiety it brought me. I ultimately had to take a leave of absence from how much it affected my mental health.

Pros

Fast hiring process, responsive contacts, easy to follow process and documentation and the usual optional benefits for a contractual employee and they do have an option for 401k after a 3 months of employment.

Cons

None that I can think of. I have never missed a paycheck from them.

Pros

The individual contributors and the endless amounts of budget for campaigns tools and resources. A great place for marketing creatives looking to do just that, create.

Cons

Leadership served themselves, not their team. There's 0 structure with no marketing KPI measurement or revenue attribution to show the ROI. Everyone always seemed so busy but nothing was getting done to show the impact marketing had on the businesses bottom line. Not many wanted to do the work to build the department to any potential, half of marketing doesn't even work under marketing which promotes vast misalignment. Just resources begging to be used and a bleeding advertising budget. It has a ton of potential, but I watched the few who could have changed it all leave over the frustrations of leaders only concerned with their own self preservation.
