Pros

You can meet some nice friends

Cons

I really wish I read the 1-star reviews before I accepted the job. I didn't know my life was going to plummet after taking this role. Generally speaking, they praise that Insight Global has the greatest culture and work environment which I believed during the interview process and my first month there. It is a literal cult and the culture is college 2.0. I liked some of the people on my team but when you are a recruiter you are at the bottom of the barrel and you are treated as such. It wasn't until we started going in the office once a week that I realized how superior the Account Managers, Pro Recruiters, and Sales Managers feel they are. They will literally look down on you and treat you like a child and make you feel embarrassed at the smallest of mistakes. Each Account Manager has different standards for their recruiters, and while I liked my Account Manager as a person she would severely micromanage me and talk down on me constantly. Any mistake made would result in a scolding email sent to you and upper management. You are extremely overworked and if you do not hit your numbers they will have constant conversations with you about your performance. I cried an insane amount of times due to this job and the stress and anxiety it brought me. I ultimately had to take a leave of absence from how much it affected my mental health.

Pros

When you first start you really feel like you’re part of something bigger and that everyone genuinely cares for you. You work like a dog up to 10-12 hours a day to make a non livable wage ( my local garbage man makes more) because you’re bought into the kool aid and tell yourself it’s hard work that will eventually pay off. Then you finally get promoted, which is great, confetti and everyone celebrating you, who wouldn’t love that?? Follow me to the cons for more.

Cons

Once promoted they tell you it’s an equal partnership between Pro’s and AMs but forget to include how micromanaged you’ll be as a Pro by your AM and the pay difference is pretty crazy too. There is no work life balance. They want you to come to work and spend 40+ hours a week with your colleagues there and then make them your besties outside of work too. They subtly shame you if you don’t come to a happy hour or want to go hangout with all your work “friends” on the weekend and call it culture. They eat breathe and sleep this idea that they have the best culture in the world when in reality they’ve stuck a bunch of people the same age with the exact same personality in one room and call it culture. There is no professionalism in this culture and everyday felt like an HR violation waiting to happen. They tell you to be open and honest and then go behind your back and before long the whole office knows your dirty laundry and wants to put their two cents in. Leadership is hypocritical and immature. The promote from within business plan leaves you with under qualified and over praised leaders because they only hire extroverts they can see themselves hanging out with on the weekend and if you drink the kool aid long enough you work your way up through the ranks. If you leave for a better opportunity they’ll try and guilt you and claim it as you weren’t willing to work hard enough to succeed. I didn’t feel so strongly about these things until I put in my two weeks notice and really saw how leadership handled it during and afterward. Insight Global is like going back to high school and unless you peaked in high school and are looking for a second dose, I’d recommend you find somewhere else to work.

Pros

Remote work and great team

Cons

They like to say they are transparent but they are the opposite. There was a data breach involving using google docs that higher up IG told us we had to use. I had a responsive recruiter to start off with but got told by my former recruiter I have a new one with his name and email. I tried to email him but could not get any response. Then when the PADOH ended their contract some of my team was getting phone calls fairly quick while my new recruiter hadn’t responded to emails I sent a few months ago. Insight global said they would reach out to everyone within 2 weeks from when they announced the contract ending. I got a call from a completely new recruiter close to the 2 week mark who seemed to dance around some questions like on when my final end date would be. Several coworkers had their recruiter tell them they would be done that same week Friday. The next day I got a call from a different recruiter telling me it would be the next day and the same Friday as my coworkers. I have worked with a recruiting company before and I have never had it be this unorganized and unprofessional. They should have handled the data breach better and not leave their employees in the dark. Equipment also was not functional for the job. A lot of phone issues as well.
