Pros

Honestly there are some amazing people that work there and the company culture is second to none. People there become best friends and roommates, you're ENCOURAGED to go out with your coworkers! Good people get rewarded and it is strictly internal promotion so everyone above you has been in your shoes.

Cons

Unless you are prepared to live and breathe sales day in and day out, this job is not right for you! Any sign of weakness and you're essentially left behind, there is over a 60% turn over rate in the first 6 months so they expect people to fail to essentially weed out the weak. If you don't have a good relationship with your account manager, you will hate your life and quit, but if you have a good relationship they can be an invaluable resource. Basically, a good mentor can make or break this job. Also it's pretty much all Greek so if you don't like frat guys/sorority girls you won't fit in, and if you don't fit in you won't go far.

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.
