Good place to get experience but beware

Pros

Insight does not seem to care too much about their employees' educational backgrounds. You will meet many people working in mid level jobs with no degree. This is a pro if you are lacking in credentials--at Insight you can get valuable experience without the gate keeper of a Bachelor's degree.

Cons

If you have much experience in your industry, it won't be valued much at Insight. They have their own way of doing things and they don't care what outside experience you have learned from and want to share. If you want to be successful at Insight, don't be too ambitious and don't try to change anything or raise any flags, it will not be appreciated. Just keep your head down and do your work.

Pros

Monday through Friday work schedule. Insight is closed on every major holiday. You have vacation from day one of employment. Good place to start in this industry to make connections .

Cons

Employee hand book is difficult and vague. This lends itself to interpretation and favoritism. For example: Doctor's notes to excuse illness are only required at management discretion. So basically if they believe you are out legitimately you don't need to provide one. There are no guidelines to instruct management when to request this. Management has little accountability to a philosophy or to HR. Example: your vacation time is allocated twice a year. Half in January and half in July. You must use all vacation time during the year or you lose it. However some managers will allow you to use time if you weren't able to take all your time. Some managers do not allow this. It is very difficult to transfer departments. Engaging recruiting to assist is non existent even when applying for positions. Most times you will not hear from Recruiting about the position you applied for. There is no working with recruiting to help find a new position. Unless you have your managers blessing you do not move and are not considered for other roles. There is no management trainee program. Insight provides very little methods to interact with management and does not have a clear management philosophy. The best way to move at Insight is to leave the company for a time and return. You will be more desirable and make more money. Turn over is extremely high. From management down I would assume the average length of employment at insight would be less that 18 months. For a company that has been around for 20 + years you would expect to see more long term employees.

Always falling asleep at work...

Pros

Vendors would come and bring food and gifts, dress code was pretty relaxed for business casual

Cons

Only got one day of training (which was fine since I catch on quick), did not give me much to do but then would complain that they were understaffed when they could have just trained me. Pay was not worth the trip. Management would complain about high turnover, and I can see why they can't get people to stay working here.
