Insight Global reviews

Insight Global was my recruiting company when I was placed at McGraw Hill. When I was abruptly terminated at 15 weeks pregnant—without warning, documentation, performance concerns, severance, or explanation—I expected at least some advocacy or support from my recruiter. Instead, Insight Global did nothing. They made no effort to push back on McGraw Hill’s actions, advocate for fairness, or even provide basic guidance during a very vulnerable time. Their silence spoke volumes. To make matters worse, after I posted a review of McGraw Hill, the company replied publicly saying they “take concerns seriously” and invited me to email them. I did, with a detailed account of what happened. They never responded. Insight Global never followed up either. Both companies seem more concerned with protecting their image than with protecting the people they employ.

Beware recent college graduates - it seems good until you realize how abnormal this company functions. Where do I even start. Traumatizing. - expected to be in your chair making calls to angry, sleepy people at by 7:45 at the latest. 9 calls before 9, 10 calls before 10. 60 calls EOD. your metrics matter more than you. you are a number to the company and part of the pyramid, getting overworked and underpaid and constantly micromanaged - 8am meeting every day, sometimes 2 in a row. you’ll get called out if you’re not performing. it’s all a performance, the loudest personality wins. - consistent micromanaging, you’re expected to update your leaders every hour on the work that you’re doing and they’ll have a talk with you if you don’t - prey on recent college grads who don’t know any better and push the claim that this “culture” is unbeatable and you’ll never find a better job. - Bosses and managers will text you outside of work time - Working until 6pm or after you’re home is expected, if you’re truly “gritty” and want to succeed , otherwise you’re lazy - toxic mean girl culture, buy in to the gossip or you’re the outcast - Unlivable base salary, keep you hooked on this promise you’ll make tons of money if you just try harder. - you could do your best work and it’s never going to be enough, unattainable path to success - Your personal life is everyone else’s business. - Genuinely exhausting corporate simulation that will be impossible to walk away from as your managers will guilt trip you into thinking you’re a family - compass trips??? where you have a slumber party with your coworkers and boss : MANDATORY - They hire based off of looks it’s true, they want pretty young girls or attractive guys who they can throw into the deep end of client-facing work, without any tangible knowledge of business. - constant competition between peers, everyone’s metrics are reviewed and shared every day. you win if you beat them. but there’s no winning, you’re not even making commission until about a year into the job, and then you start from scratch and are expected to cold call anyone and build your business? it’s all a lie. - this place will chew you up and spit you out, probably leaving you with an undiagnosed anxiety disorder. - if you’re lucky, you’re the one drinking the kool-aid.
