Pros

- Everyone is young and "fun" - Everyone hooks up with each other so if you're looking for that, you have a lot of people to choose from - If you are sad to graduate college, you can have that same atmosphere here

Cons

Girls here are objectified to the extreme. From the day they start, men see them as pretty objects with the sole purpose of looking pretty and not talking too much. The men see themselves as the crucial players, and most of them are frat guys who never wanted to leave the fratty environment. It really doesn't matter how smart you are, the men here do not believe that contributes to your worth and value at the company. The sexual harassment women are subjected to on a daily basis is unimaginable, but women do not feel comfortable reporting it or standing up for themselves, because they are told that their looks are what got them there in the first place. Not all staffing agencies are like this, and the treatment people receive here should not be legal or condoned by anyone. However, recent college graduates are desperate for jobs, and the misleading interview process places many unsuspecting graduates in a difficult situation once they accept. The turnover rate is very high, and most people decide fairly soon that the cons greatly outweigh to "fun" perks, like happy hours. Fortunately for insight global, they do not break a sweat when a high percentage of their employees quit, because they prepare for that, and they continue to hire new, unsuspecting grads. Almost all the reviews on glassdoor for Insight Global are fake, and employees are forced to write these exceedingly positive reviews. If you want to know the truth about the company, look up almost anyone on Linkedin who used to work there, and it's likely they will validate what I'm trying to warn you. Everyone, women and men, are worth more than the disrespect and lack of value they experience at Insight Global. If you are completely jobless and need something to pass the time and make a few checks, try it out and you can use them like they hope to use you. I hope more current and former employees take it upon themselves to be honest in their reviews, so that their quality of life improves and advice to management is taken into consideration. This can be fixed if Insight Global wishes to change.

We are sorry to hear that anyone has had, or is having, a bad experience with us. Your post raises issues that Insight Global takes very seriously. Since this is an anonymous post, we can’t otherwise contact you, so we did want to address a few specific points so that you know that your concerns are being heard. First, sexual harassment is expressly prohibited under company policy, and it is a matter we take very seriously. If you feel that you are being harassed, we encourage you to report your concerns to HR immediately so that we may investigate and address the matter. We are committed to providing a safe and professional workplace for all of our employees, and once we learn of such concerns we can address them immediately. To be clear, the company will not retaliate against any employee for making a good faith report about such concerns, and we intend to discuss the general concerns noted below with our office leaders. Second, we want to emphasize that our female employees are not only valued but, in fact, critical to the success of our company. We believe firmly in the concept of a meritocracy, and we look for the best person for any job without regard to gender or any other protected characteristic. Within this framework, women in our company have been extremely successful and represent approximately one-half of the office sales leadership. Many of our most successful sales people are women, including top performing account managers and national account managers with responsibility for our largest accounts. We believe that what sets apart those that excel is not their appearance but a combination of work ethic, professionalism, and dedication to our clients and contractors. We hope that this will address some of your concerns and want to encourage you to contact HR if you have further concerns so that we may look into them and take appropriate action.

- 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
