Pros
IG provides a great atmosphere for first time employment opportunities. The culture of the company is all young people right out of college so that gives you the opportunity to meet great people.
Cons
The interviewing process needs to change. The turnover rate is ridiculous and that has a lot to do with them selling the account management position in the interview. They need to be upfront about the fact you will be a recruiter for 6-12 months (or longer - depending upon what office you are in) and that you will be expected to be there from 7:30 AM to 6PM or later while in the recruiting position. Stop mentioning the company trip to Cancun because chances are, you will quit before you make it that far. They pay you close to nothing and expect a lot. There are plenty of other entry level sales positions with a higher base / better commission structure to consider before taking this. It really is a pyramid scheme and I was not going to put up with the way they micro manage. Everything is based on your weekly numbers and they monitor your activity like a hawk. Quantity over quality should be there motto - because that is truly all they care about. I leave everyday with a moral hangover from calling candidates to come in to meet with me about jobs they will not work for just to hit my "5 in-houses a week quota" - Management also tells multiple recruiters at a time they need to "push for sales" to get as much out of each person that month when in reality they already have an idea of who will be promoted. They use the recruiters as much as they can - promising promotions that are far away - just to up their performance and better the overall performance of the office. In turn, this causes stress and frustration resulting in the recruiters unhappiness.
