Pros

You have the opportunity to work for a company with pretty much all young people with type A personalities that are fresh out of college.

Cons

Where to start here...the cons are endless. Insight Global is set up much like a pyramid scheme. The CEOs and upper management are compensated very well, while the people at the bottom half are worked like slaves (50 hrs/wk +) and are only paid $28,000. You are expected to eat, sleep, and breathe the compnay. If you do not hang out with people from work during all of your free time, it is "frowned upon". Promotions are given out based on favoritism (i.e. a popularity contest) rather than competence and work ethic. Employees are micromanaged so heavily it seems as if there is someone breathing down your neck constantly. All in all, I would say this is a terrible place to work and I am very glad I found another job. Going back to the pro (working with all young kids fresh out of college), the reason Insight Global does this is simple; college kids are the only ones naive enough to buy into the crap that the company tries to sell people on ("you will make 100K in your second year with the comapny").

Pros

Can make good money, your coworkers are great

Cons

- work 7:45-5pm every day and will be questioned if you leave early - "hybrid" is onsite mon-fri with no flexibility - management is absolutely insane in every way - zero diversity, only hire blonde women in their 20s - base salary is laughable and you will be making that for at least a year if not more - management will play favorites and that has a direct impact your paycheck - constant work drama - no rewards for hard workers - benefits are a JOKE - 401k match is $250/year, health insurance is terrible, and zero perks of the job
