Pros
- learn a lot about other industries/companies/jobs - working directly with clients is great experience; learn how to speak the language of directors, VP's, and C-Suite level leadership - can make some good friends - good job stability - they do not lay off sales people or recruiters - good access to trainings and professional development
Kontras
- frat-like culture that turns into a very toxic work environment quickly - leadership is young, inexperienced, and stressed out, so they turn around and stress out those below them even more - salary is extremely low and you don't make good commission until you've passed a very high bracket - leadership also micromanages every little thing about those below them; they treat their subordinates like children - very difficult for many to maintain mental health and wellbeing while working here, have spoken with numerous people who have struggled with this and had to leave IG because it got so bad - horrible lack of diversity - everyone seems to come from 3 main PWI's - toxic approach to those who quit - leadership seems to immediately start bad mouthing them and people begin to turn against them, rather than being happy for them - extremely metrics-driven even when it sometimes doesn't make sense
