Pros

-young coworkers -resume builder -makes every other job seem easy

Cons

-start time of 8am but considered late at 7:30am -multiple weekly meetings to touch base on your progress (this instilled more anxiety in me than it did promote my work ethic) -unlivable wage -forced use of personal phone for work purposes where you are accessible to candidates and coworkers 24/7 -insanely high KPI or “metrics” -expectations increase with every milestone you make -hammering phones all. day. long. -$200+ a month for office parking -bullpen office set up -sorority/fraternity atmosphere -colleagues in other offices do not have respect for anyone outside of their own home office (we work across offices so this is a significant problem) -the jobs you try to fill may fall through to no fault of your own because no one is honest at this company (wasted work and time on your behalf) -you can meet one metric but if you’re missing another you’re still failing in managements eyes (i.e. getting 5 people a job and making the company a lot of money last week doesn’t matter this week if you can’t do it again + more) -so much more but i have anxiety thinking about it

Not a real company

Pros

Wouldn't be where I am today without starting here first

Cons

Insight Global simply put is not a real company. Everyone in leadership has only ever worked at one place... Insight Global. There is no real strategy around what kind of work you are doing. They will sell you on this being a "sales role" in the interview but the account manager role at IG is just a glorified recruiter. They put every possible roadblock in front of you to delay you making real money. The base salary to begin with is borderline poverty level money, it takes a year to get "promoted", and then once you are you have to make a certain amount in "spread" BEFORE you can make any commission.... it's truly hilarious! I have since worked for an incredible sales organization for almost 3 years now since leaving IG and I DREAM of running into Bert Bean so I can tell him how he's running a fake company.

Avoid at all cost

Pros

The company culture seems to be a pro at first, until you realize that everyone engages with each other in an inappropriate manner, events outside of work hours are mandatory, and your success at the company completely relies on how liked/popular you are at the company.

Cons

Several - The pay is LOW - The hours are not as advertised, and if you are not in the office before 7:50 am on the dot you will be yelled at in front of the entire office - I have seen more people cry in the office than any other job ive ever had - You will be micromanaged and convinced its for your overall development
