Pros

The only pro is that the coworkers can be fun. Unprofessional, but fun!

Cons

Insight Global targets smart, attractive, hard working new grads & then lies & tricks them into this toxic company. The pay is terrible. You start out around 35K & then they make false promises that you’ll get promoted within 10 months & then earn 6 figures. The promotions are framed as objective - if you hit these metrics for these amount of weeks then you’ll get promoted.. FALSE. It’s completely subjective & depends on what works best for them. Want sales but they need more recruiters? Looks like that’s your only option. Want a promotion & have hit all your numbers consistently but they don’t have a territory for you? Looks like you’re SOL. They make examples out of a tiny percentage of people in the company who earn a lot when in reality most of the people aren’t making that much. They consistently manipulate everyone, change rules/standards of decisions on the fly for whatever works for them. On top of the horrible company & work environment - the staffing industry is tough. Your earnings depend on someone else showing up & being good at their job. Insight Global offers nothing special or different than their competitors. I feel so bad every time I see new people joining our office & getting tricked into this toxic pyramid scheme. It’s to the point that it can not be fixed by any one person or manager the issues are systemic. DO NOT DO IT. I’ve been trying to get out for a while now but the experience I’ve gained here isn’t very attractive to potential future employers: we don’t use Salesforce & our sales org is completely unorganized so you do a little bit of everything instead of focusing on specific parts of the process.

Pros

They're a recruitment company so they have access to a lot of jobs

Cons

IG is an incredibly disorganized company, incredibly dishonest, they lie about their benefit plans and cover it up as incompetence, their benefits are awful to start with, they hire the worst third party companies to handle background checks, and the icing on the cake that led me to post this review is that they're now reaching in to my 401k and taking out exorbitant fees! I have never worked for a company that treated me worse than IG.

Pros

Great food when you take customers out for lunch. You form some really great friendships while you're at work.

Cons

They make you hate your life. Encourage you to drink at lunch and dinner if that's what the customer wants. They make you pay for happy hours which are mandatory. They also will MAKE you post a positive review while you're working there to seem like everything is great from the outside and the actual turnover rate is over 50% in the first year because "people can't handle it." They promise a lot of money but essentially try and trap you in a lifestyle that is the staffing business.
