Pros

Not a single PRO left.

Cons

Where to begin? I'm sure you've all heard this place is a pyramid scheme, a cult, etc. - it is actually worse than you can imagine. This isn't coming from an angry employee, this is coming from someone who genuinely wants to let people know what they will be getting themselves into. When you first join the company, you start out as a recruiter and are pushed to get promoted in ~6 months to either a Professional Recruiter or Account Manager. The starting rate is ~$37k, which turns out to be around $30k after taxes, 401k and healthcare deductions. After you are worked to the bone with no commission for 6-7 months, you are then required to make the company an additional minimum revenue on a weekly basis BEFORE you get to see a dollar of commission. They preach all about taking care of their employees and lecture their clients that in this competitive economy companies need to offer $18/hr minimum because places like Amazon are offering high wages for entry level jobs....yet they don't even do that for their own employees. The wages are unlivable and they dangle the idea of possibly making 6 figures in front of everyone. To clarify, your commission is based on the weekly revenue brought in, whereas other sales jobs you have a yearly performance goal. Insight Global manipulates and gaslights their employees like no other. As mentioned before, they are constantly shoving the idea of making 6 figures down everyone's throats. They talk about how this is the ONLY place to see this kind of success. When someone quits, they will tell everyone that the person left because they just didn't want to work hard... yet refuse to realize people just don't want to work this hard for a $50k base (once promoted)....and don't get your hopes up for a yearly raise because that's out of the question at this company. This place preys on fresh college grads to brain wash them and take advantage of their willingness to work for $30k while they continue to run a MULTI-BILLION dollar organization. Your mental health will be tarnished at a place like this.. Probably why one of their benefits is free counseling.

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.
