Pros

I get paid on time, that's about it

Cons

I will put some blame on myself, I signed the offer letter without noticing PTO, Federal Holidays, etc. was missing. i was informed about no PTO/Holidays off after I entered holiday pay on Memorial Day. Problem is as a Federal D.O.D. contractor it's 10 Holidays per year. So that's 2 weeks of leave without pay I will have to take. Unacceptable. Not including the days I take because of emergencies, feeling sick, etc. So I'm pretty much being used as a 1099 contractor without 1099 contractor pay. Not to mention the benefits package is EXPENSIVE. Being paid weekly, it will cost over $400 a week for family insurance alone. If you're a seasoned contractor that been in the business for some time, steer clear of IG. If you're new to the contracting world, use this as a stepping stone to get your foot in the door.

Pros

Fun people, great location, nothing else

Cons

I wanted to love it so badly. The people seemed fun, they make you feel like you're part of an elite group (re: they only hire extremely attractive, outgoing people), it seemed like there was a lot of career advancement. But you're lied to from the get go. I didn't want to believe all of the negative reviews, but statistically, real reviews are shaped like a bell curve, and IG's has an overwhelming amount of positive reviews. But notice they're vague because management forces their vapid workforce to say something nice about the company to maintain an image. They only hire former Greek life/athletes who're insecure about locking down a decent job after college. So they offer $38k, take you out to lunch/happy hour, tell you you're going to make a lot of money, and it seems like a great deal. Wrong. You work 10-12 hour days, have to join their mob mentality, and have 0 work/life balance except for hanging out at happy hour with your co-workers. They told me you'd get promoted once you become an account manager 6 months in, but that rarely happens, even if you've been working for 1.5+ years. If you want to take yourself seriously, wait for a better job opportunity. There's more to life than extending your party days, getting paid a non-livable wage with poor benefits, and getting overworked.

Pros

Weekly pay. That's about it.

Cons

Literally everything else. Want insurance? 600/ per month. After a little digging, it became abundantly clear that they were making money off that too. Want to take a vacation? Please wait one year before thinking about it. Death in the family? Sorry, use your sick leave or PTO. Need money to get certificates? Nope, we don't do that either.
