Once promoted they tell you it’s an equal partnership between Pro’s and AMs but forget to include how micromanaged you’ll be as a Pro by your AM and the pay difference is pretty crazy too. There is no work life balance. They want you to come to work and spend 40+ hours a week with your colleagues there and then make them your besties outside of work too. They subtly shame you if you don’t come to a happy hour or want to go hangout with all your work “friends” on the weekend and call it culture. They eat breathe and sleep this idea that they have the best culture in the world when in reality they’ve stuck a bunch of people the same age with the exact same personality in one room and call it culture. There is no professionalism in this culture and everyday felt like an HR violation waiting to happen. They tell you to be open and honest and then go behind your back and before long the whole office knows your dirty laundry and wants to put their two cents in. Leadership is hypocritical and immature. The promote from within business plan leaves you with under qualified and over praised leaders because they only hire extroverts they can see themselves hanging out with on the weekend and if you drink the kool aid long enough you work your way up through the ranks. If you leave for a better opportunity they’ll try and guilt you and claim it as you weren’t willing to work hard enough to succeed. I didn’t feel so strongly about these things until I put in my two weeks notice and really saw how leadership handled it during and afterward. Insight Global is like going back to high school and unless you peaked in high school and are looking for a second dose, I’d recommend you find somewhere else to work.
