Pros

Inner office culture, the people you work with become your best friends & family. Insight Global is a great "starter job" out of college, you learn a lot of basic business fundamentals. You see a lot of positive reviews about Insight Global, because we're required to write four a month as a Recruiter.

Cons

Insight Global WAS once rainbows & unicorns. The executives have lost sight of their company and now their only concern is going public. You are not hired for sales. You may be told during your interview that you are, but realistically - you are sitting in the office for 9 hours a day, calling people, at a desk and not leaving the building. You're required to be an Account Manager's slave for the day and required to stay late (like 9pm late) if you can't accomplish your goal for the day. 1 out of 10 people we hire "make it" to sales, after about 7-12 months as a recruiter. The others we "push out", meaning we force to quit. You're paid DIRT cheap, like $30K dirt cheap. Unless you are a $20K Account Manager or Professional Recruiter (a route they ask you to take when they don't believe you'll succeed in Sales)... than you won't see much income and you're also always walking on eggshells because management wants to "put you on a plan". You are just a number, it doesn't matter what value add you've given to the company. The management is your age, usually a part of the same frat from college and they don't care about you. Again, unless you're at $20K then you don't hear from anyone, and you're in the clear.

Pros

The individual contributors and the endless amounts of budget for campaigns tools and resources. A great place for marketing creatives looking to do just that, create.

Cons

Leadership served themselves, not their team. There's 0 structure with no marketing KPI measurement or revenue attribution to show the ROI. Everyone always seemed so busy but nothing was getting done to show the impact marketing had on the businesses bottom line. Not many wanted to do the work to build the department to any potential, half of marketing doesn't even work under marketing which promotes vast misalignment. Just resources begging to be used and a bleeding advertising budget. It has a ton of potential, but I watched the few who could have changed it all leave over the frustrations of leaders only concerned with their own self preservation.
