Pros

THERE ARE NO PROS AT ALL

Cons

Long hours, terrible pay, unprofessional staff, every single person is fresh out of college RED FLAG, everything the corporate recruiters tell you is a LIE. You are not being "hired into sales," you are being hired to cold call individuals that put their resumes on monster all day. You do not learn valuable skills, you do not get treated like a person, you do not get promoted within 6 months. ALL LIES. At the corporate training you get fed a bunch of lies about the potential you have to make money-ANOTHER RED FLAG. They dont "train" you they try to sell the job to you-which was so insane considering I ALREADY WORKED THERE. The attrition rate in the first year is EIGHTY PERCENT. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Worst experience of my entire life.

Pros

Any benefits of working here are overshadowed by the cons.

Cons

I've been working for Insight Global for a month and still don't get paid on time. The law in my state says that it's a requirement for employees to pay on time per the company's payroll schedule. This company has failed to meet that requirement since I started a month ago. The excuses I get are that payroll department is disorganized. For any company that's no excuse, especially for a company this size.

Pros

Free espresso & Red Bull. If you sack it up and stick it out you have the potential to earn a VERY good living.

Cons

Too many. This company is one big fat lawsuit waiting to happen, but everyone they hire is fresh out of college and doesn't know any better. I absolutely HATED working here. They are a cult and if you don't conform and make friends with everyone then you won't get promoted. Yup, you being promoted to Account Manager is based majority on your relationships in the office AKA hanging out with your coworkers ALL THE TIME. You get assigned an Account Manager who is basically your mentor, but good luck because if you don't like yours you are stuck with them anyways. And again, you can't tell anyone you dislike them because after all, this is a beauty pageant and your goal is to win Miss Congeniality. During the days you get an option of going to lunch either from 11:30-12:30 or 12:30-1:30 and you better plan on going to lunch with your coworkers otherwise you will be outcasted and questioned and people will talk about you. They are VERY cliquey. They micromanage everything you do. They have a confrontation model where if someone upsets you or says something that hurts your feelings you have to pull them out of the office, confront them, then email them a "follow up" message and CC both of your Account Managers as well as your Sales Manager. Basically treat you like you're 12. You have to put your daily tasks of what you completed on your Account Managers desk so they can check your work...because again, you're a child. All meetings for recruiters are at 7am on Fridays... Tuesdays you have to be in the office at 7:15am, every other day it's 7:30am except for Fridays where you have to be in at 7am...oh but they feed you breakfast so it's fine...usually McDonalds...Once a quarter they have a meeting from 5pm-as long as it takes (usually until 8pm) to sit around and do "Pluses and Deltas" basically go around and say one positive and negative thing about everyone. It's usually personal stuff too because obviously this company isn't professional. For the first 8 weeks you're hourly so they will get you out of the door by 5pm, but make no mistake after that time you will get dirty looks if you leave at 5pm.. Also, all meetings and conferences aren't during normal business hours. All recruiter and sales meetings are either before 8am or after 5pm. Conferences are usually from Friday-Sunday...Your life will be consumed by this company. They ask their contractors to write reviews on websites such as Glassdoor in order for their company to have high star reviews. Do yourself a favor and unless you are EXTREMELY desperate for a job in order to move to the city you want to be in or because you need the money while you're searching for your dream job, DO NOT WORK HERE!!!
