Pros

-they do a great job hiring entertaining people! met some of my best friends -clear (ish) path to promotion

Cons

-they say things like they will auto enroll you in training (they won’t) -they will say there is a clear path to promotion (most recruiters don’t make it that far because the metrics are out of control) -there is no HR department, just everyone sucking up to the upper management (who will do nothing but waste your time and encourage you to work 10 hour days straight through lunch to show your “grit”) -please don’t fall into this trap- if you’re a new grad wanting to move to a new city, it’s so much more worth it to just get a grocery job tbh -you will doubt yourself every day because that is a part of the model- they can boil everything down to grit and tell you it’s your fault that you fall short when they give you bad accounts/recs -if you get hired: congrats, it’s because you’re physically attractive and can speak to people. that’s all they look for. -most people who work here have parents who pay for most of their stuff. most people aren’t commission eligible yet 2 years in and are still making basically base pay because of it and it is not as livable as you think it is -benefits are certifiably BAD. i have never had worse benefits.

Pros

If you are competitive and actually want to make money, the culture here is unmatched. They train you incredibly well from day one, so you never feel lost. The promotion path is super clear you literally get out what you put in. My team has been incredibly supportive and everyone genuinely wants to see you win

Cons

It's an absolute grind, not gonna lie. The hours can be really long, especially during your first year when you're trying to build your book of business. If you hate cold calling or can't handle high-pressure metrics, you probably wont't survive here

Pros

Lots of virtue signaling. Halloween was huge.

Cons

IG has one of the most toxic workplace cultures I've experienced. Poor leadership, cliquish behavior, constant office drama, frequent verbal abuse, and an excessively loud work environment create a culture where professionalism takes a back seat. Success often seems less dependent on performance than on whether you're part of the "in" crowd. If a favored leader or influential employee decides they don't like you, your contributions quickly become irrelevant. Even when concerns are documented, supported with evidence, and raised through the appropriate leadership channels, employees can find themselves facing retaliation rather than resolution. Although the company advertises a hybrid work model, there is significant pressure to be in the office nearly every day, with employees who don't conform experiencing negative consequences. The company publicly promotes values around inclusion, respect, and corporate responsibility, but my experience did not reflect those messages. The gap between the company's external branding and its internal culture was striking. My direct manager regularly yelled, cursed at me, and made insulting remarks. Sexist jokes and comments from leaders were not uncommon, and management failed to address this behavior despite being aware of it. Instead of investigating concerns or holding people accountable, retaliation appeared to be the preferred response. After many years in the workforce, this was the most unprofessional and dysfunctional organization I've encountered. Before accepting a position, I would strongly encourage prospective employees to read reviews from former employees across multiple platforms and consider recurring themes carefully.
