Pros

Great stepping stone out of college, can grow professionally and make great money quickly… but only if you’re lucky or work twice as hard as everyone else. You learn how to survive in the corporate world and do gain some valuable skills. If you were in Greek life, this company feels like the outgrown adult version of a that - so if that’s what you’re into, you’d probably enjoy working here.

Cons

Management and Leadership are corrupt. So many things are swept under the rug, and managers will always chose favorites. Equal treatment across everyone is promised, but rarely is followed through. Insight Global emphasizes their core values everywhere, with one of them being “Always Know Where You Stand”. You won’t know where you stand, decisions are made behind your back, and everything is being covered up. Each office is ran entirely different, so maybe you’ll get lucky with a great leader. Management gossips about other management on team events. Your boss leading team Zone meetings, reprimanding everyone for low numbers, and even throwing out curse words at your team while speaking to them on a video call. If you put in your notice, you do not get to finish out your last 2 weeks. If you try and give them a longer heads up notice you’re leaving to help them find a backfill in the meantime, they rip away your bonuses and hard earned cash incentives. It is nearly impossible to live off the first 6 months starting salary (ranges per state) unless your parents are paying for your luxury apartment in the city like everyone else you work with. The salaries they keep people at are so below market standards, it’s insane. If you don’t make great commission, you will struggle making ends meet. Everything is a competition, you can see all of your coworkers numbers and essentially their weekly and annual salary across the years.

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.
