Pros

Good opportunity for training out of college - gave decent expectations for corporate America. Depending on your territory, your clients can/will keep you there because the workplace itself/people do not.

Cons

Benefits are too expensive on a weekly basis, they only match $250 per year for your 401k (regardless of how much you contribute), the base salary for an Account Manager is $44,000 and is $20-35k below the local Kansas City average for identical staffing AM roles, you don’t have access to the “stock” that YOU earn through milestones, and you pay out of pocket for customer expenses as an Account Manager (no company card to take that financial liability off young individuals shoulders). The Kansas City office, specifically, has an extremely insane amount of toxicity and frat-like/sorority-like drama. There is 0 work-life balance. At times, management was encouraging coming in 1 hour early, skipping lunches, staying 1-2 hours after hours in order to hit goals (without 0 opportunity for Over Time pay). Local management doesn’t allow for challenging questions or professional feedback.

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.
