Pros

PTO is nice. Lots of partner events for free food and prizes.

Cons

Lowest paying VAR in the industry. And then they just randomly changed the commission payout schedule from every 4 weeks to every 6 weeks without a single care for how this will impact employees and their families in this horrible economy. We all rely on commission checks at the end of each month to pay rent/mortgages at the beginning of the next month. We barely got any notice about this change so now many of us won’t be able to pay our rent this month. With base pay so low, we can’t even pay our rent and basic bills based off those checks, so now some of us are facing eviction. News flash Insight execs, many of your employees live paycheck to paycheck in this recession. Randomly changing commission payouts means you leave your employees to flounder. It’s not our fault you decided to outsource your commissions and payroll teams to Manila and then didn’t properly train them so it takes them 5 weeks AFTER each month to get commissions straight. And to do it the same month that student loan payments restart is just diabolical. Absolutely disgusted with you at this point. No support even provided for your employees either. I gave a lot of my time and energy to this job over the years and now you’re forcing me to leave after I’ve made you some great money from my sales.

Pros

Good work life balance and compensation.

Cons

Too many to list. Despite being a publicly traded company they are heavily influenced by an activist investor that made a sizable investment, I believe it was $800M. I’m is a company largely composed on several acquisitions over the years, most of which seem to never have been integrated into “One Insight”. Lot of different sub cultures and different ways to do things. Very poor leaders who have been there 10+ years and not capable to support the transition the company is trying to achieve.

Pros

Some good people. Some cutting edge technology.

Cons

Corporation that only cares about stock prices not employees. So many good people run out the door because it is a thankless environment only interested in GP and someone you never met’s bonus. The sales people are Dell cast offs, usually not very bright and unappreciative. The services management are a bunch of slave traders running a body shop and burning people out. Terrible benefits and wages well below market rate. Rampant Nepotism. Depressing environment. Raises do not keep up with cost of living. Regular lay offs. Mandatory Wellness Program violates the law. When you ask for more money because you are underpaid by thousands of dollars, “we don’t have a bucket of money” is the response - yet profits are through the roof. Nobody questions that massive numbers of employees quit then they do not backfill the roles. Awful. Homelessness would be better than working at Insight.
