"Depending on the state/city in which you live, is all dependent upon what the salary should look like. I believe the growth that's taking place in Nashville, calls for a need to revisit the base salary. I fully support myself, and 30,000 does not allow for much leeway in my budget. I understand that we have a commission structure and that can be used as a "rebuttal" for not increasing the salary. However, I feel like Insight Global would have a better retention rate if the base was increased by a mere 5k. This is technically an 8-5 job but in the grand scheme of things, it isn't. The hours are demanding. Nothing in life comes easy. It takes hard work to be successful and you probably won't be compensated for every hour, minute or second of your time. BUT I do believe that increasing the base salary will increase the retention rate and increase the quality of work."

"I have only been in my position full time for about 4 months and this is a commission based role. My base is $30,000 and the commission I earn on top of that is based on how much income you bring in for the company, I would say most people in my role make around 60-70K on average and I hope to be in that same range in a few months."

"The base salary was very low compared to our competitors up until 2017 when we received a 10k salary bump. That is nice and all, but it still does not feel like we are compensated enough. With the salary bump they also changed our commission structure which negatively affected me as well"
