Pros

Remote work available and advancement opportunities.

Cons

Middle management seems kind of clueless and is stuck between "old school" mentality of yelling and screaming to get results.

Employee focused, benefits are good (compared to my previous job), a lot of diversity programs which is very nice along with an exec team that' s a bit more diverse than most these days.

Pros

- Most of the teammates doing the "grunt work" are very experienced and true professionals. - The opportunity to work remote in a lot of positions is excellent.

Cons

Alot of the management positions are filled by people that used to work with or for the CIO Michael Guggemos. That equates to alot of dead weight in management, especially in middle management. Several departments have managers of managers that their positions were created seemingly to provide a former coworker or buddy a well paying job. It is like a scene from the movie Office Space. There are meetings about projects or issues with 20 people on the phone and only 3 to 5 people are people directly working on the specific item and 15 or so "managers" all expressing their ideas or directions. The public view and motto at Insight is its a family. The private view is that it's an extremely dysfunctional family. Managers routinely get rid of people they don't like and bring in buddies, without any fear of reprisal or negative responses due to the HR departments rubber stamping of everything managers do instead of protecting teammates from attacks or abuse. Benefits are well below what they should especially for such a large, publicly traded company. Prescription benefits are extremely bad with the high deductibles that must be met before the actual savings kicks in. I believe the current deductible is somewhete around $6000 for prescriptions alone. Urgent Care copays are $75. PCP copays are $50. Both of which are over double of anywhere I've ever worked.

We are very sorry that you have this opinion of Insight. We work rigorously on our hiring process to ensure we hire only teammates that contribute significantly to our success, and while some of our teammates formerly worked for members of our executive team, we believe those teammates are very valued contributors. As it relates to health care, over the past few years we have invested in wellness solutions for our teammates. This investment includes a competitive insurance plan, a Health Savings Account, an on-site health center in Arizona, one preferred network in Chicago, along with a variety of other wellness initiatives. In addition, in 2016, we drastically changed our prescription drug coverage to ensure our teammates aren’t required to hit a deductible for maintenance medications. Our current deductible is $1,500 for teammates, and $3,000 for families (not $6,000). In order to assist our teammates with that expense, we provide $500 (for teammates) and $1,000 (for families) in a health savings account. One of our focuses is to ensure our teammates have access to resources they need to keep themselves and their families healthy. We take all feedback seriously and I have provided your review to our HR team. We appreciate your time for writing a review.
