Pros

Pros: - Great first job for fresh grads for the experience and getting into the working world for 1-2 years before moving onto a new opportunity - Working with people your age, easy to make lifelong friends, socialize, and network. It helps for a smooth transition into your career from college having that. The people are why you enjoy working there. - Their training, exposure, expectations and constant feedback will challenge you in a way that will make you mature into the working world quickly, both growing your soft skills and sharpening your professionalism, which will prepare you for any roles beyond this. It pushes you and teaches you invaluable lessons that you'll use for the rest of your career. Also instills a strong work ethic in you. - Stability, they do not fire often. If you're struggling or something isn't working management will step in to support you if you are willing to give it your all. - Once promoted, pay gets much better with commission.

Cons

Cons: - Exceeding production metrics means everything, and working extra hours to hit them is the unspoken expectation. - Commission is fast and fleeting, the "spread roller coaster". Some of the uncontrollables can effect your commission instantly. - Political, and Work life bleeds into personal life - When you're on PTO expect to still be "available", including on sick days. When taking sick days, you are still expected to hit all numbers for the week. - Benefits are not good

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.
