Pros

Working six days a week for almost 12 hours a day for practically minimum wage. There are no pros. They dupe young and impressionable college kids into thinking they can make a ton of money or open their own office. And how much money are they really raising for charities? It's not about doing good it's about tricking people into thinking their donations will go entirely to charity when in fact impact is taking the money. This will be your job: show up at the office at 8 am oh but if you show up on time you're actually late as they say and should be early to be on time. Makes no sense. Then do some pointless meeting where everyone is fake happy. Then go drive to some supermarket or Starbucks and set up a booth for 10 hours to holler at and badger people for money for "charity". Then drive back to the office for another meeting then finally get off at like 8 or 9 pm. And it's not like you're making a ton of money, it comes out to barely minimum wage, yet they say you can make a lot of money off commission if you work hard. Really? It's just not worth it. It's mindless, fake and in my opinion what they are doing should be illegal. Do not work here. They will make the job seem really cool and that you will get to travel and be a manager in no time. Don't take the bait! I also heard they force current employees to write these ridiculous reviews on Glassdoor that make the company look like this great place and opportunity, it's pathetic. I really have no idea how any of these people can show up to this job everyday or partake in what a lie company this is.

Cons

Do not work here!!! It will be a complete waste of your time! Such a fake company with fake opportunities

Pros

I have been working at IIG for about 5 months now and I absolutely love it. They are very flexible and I have been able to maintain going to school full time and working full time, and still having non stop growth in the company. This company has endless opportuinity for growth and knowledge. I am a business major and I have learned more tools for my major here working than in class. I have never been fully satisfies or happy with a job until now because I see myself really growing and reach my ultimate level of success here with IIG!

Cons

Long hours are a problem for some people but of you have a good work ethic and are serious about being successful it should be a problem.

Pros

Very fun atmosphere I’ll give it that, too bad fun doesn’t pay bills. Employees are so friendly. Get paid weekly. There is the opportunity to be promoted quickly, but even once you get promoted compensation is still commission and not enough to pay bills.

Cons

You stand outside businesses for 10+ hours everyday to get paid 100% commission, so there might be some really good days but most days you’ll be lucky to end up with $40 for over 10 hours of working whereas you’d make over $100 for 10 hours working at McDonald’s. You’re required to drive all over the place every day for your events and they ask you to give other people that don’t have cars rides with absolutely no reimbursement for gas. I’m saving money by not working at all because I was spending more in gas at this company than I was making.
