Pros

PTO is nice. Lots of partner events for free food and prizes.

Cons

Lowest paying VAR in the industry. And then they just randomly changed the commission payout schedule from every 4 weeks to every 6 weeks without a single care for how this will impact employees and their families in this horrible economy. We all rely on commission checks at the end of each month to pay rent/mortgages at the beginning of the next month. We barely got any notice about this change so now many of us won’t be able to pay our rent this month. With base pay so low, we can’t even pay our rent and basic bills based off those checks, so now some of us are facing eviction. News flash Insight execs, many of your employees live paycheck to paycheck in this recession. Randomly changing commission payouts means you leave your employees to flounder. It’s not our fault you decided to outsource your commissions and payroll teams to Manila and then didn’t properly train them so it takes them 5 weeks AFTER each month to get commissions straight. And to do it the same month that student loan payments restart is just diabolical. Absolutely disgusted with you at this point. No support even provided for your employees either. I gave a lot of my time and energy to this job over the years and now you’re forcing me to leave after I’ve made you some great money from my sales.

Pros

Decent healthcare, with an onsite doctor if you are close enough Reasonable PTO, plus extra mental health days, as well as sick time Have employee assistance program

Cons

Everything else. The infrastructure team is considered and treated as the black sheep. WE are not included in company-wide initiative or get togethers. (Yes, they have performative inclusion, but try being the only tech support in a room full of Sales) The salary is horrific. Entry level starts ok, but then they flood you with additional responsibilities outside of your pay grade and then never actually pay you what you are worth. How it happens—Starting at a lower position and then being promoted to a title that no longer exists, so you'll keep your old title and just get new and more responsibilities. Then, they cap your salary at the lower position's top, and you have no way to advocate because you aren't "really" in that title. Then they will slowly erode the entire client base by making idiotic client promises that cannot be filled without intensive work, which all goes to a different team, and yours is phased out. All while they are stating we have great job security. 5 Layoffs/RIFs/Silent Termination waves in 6 years Removal of whole teams that support infrastructure, with no replacement—for example, axing the ENTIRE Quality Control team and having no replacement force, just telling individual teams to figure it out.
