Pros

My time at Insight was short, but the amount of knowledge and skills I gained in my short time there will help me for the rest of my career. The managers here really want you to succeed and really give you everything you need (and more) to succeed, it's just up to you to take it and run with it. The opportunities for networking with industry leaders (Microsoft, Apple, CISCO, Dell, HP...etc) are endless and the spiffs and partner sponsored lunches are the cherry on top. The training program is terrific and the sales training management team is a great group of people to work with. It is a hard job though, and its defiantly not for everybody. But like I said; they give you everything you need to succeed its up to you what you do with it.

Cons

There are good and bad in every company, but the good out weighs the bad at Insight. The turnover at the beginning is high which can be demotivating. Getting started is the hardest part, but the longer you stay, the better it gets. It's a not an easy job and it's not for everyone. But if you really want to succeed at Insight your hard work will pay off greatly.

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.
