Pros

The software that IST offers is top of the line. It streamlines the entire process and we are able to tailor the software to individual clients' needs. Great processes in place.

Cons

Corporate has not quite caught on with the fact that what they are paying people is unacceptable. They completely eliminated medical benefits and our hourly rate is not enough to cover cost of living in addition to new mandated healthcare premiums. Also, there are HUGE lapses in pay from city to city, employees in markets with extremely high cost of living are being paid at the same rate (and at times, less than) as those in cheaper markets.

Pros

Working at this company has been a genuinely positive experience. One of the biggest strengths is the excellent customer service we consistently deliver. The team goes above and beyond to ensure clients feel supported, heard, and valued, which has become a defining part of our culture. Our management team is another standout. They provide clear direction, communicate effectively, and foster an environment where employees feel empowered to grow. Their leadership style encourages collaboration, innovation, and accountability. What truly sets this company apart is the synergy between employees on all levels. Teamwork isn’t just encouraged — it’s natural. Colleagues support one another, share knowledge freely, and work together seamlessly to achieve common goals. This creates a workplace that feels both productive and genuinely enjoyable. Overall, it’s a company that values people, delivers quality, and cultivates a strong sense of unity.

Cons

While my overall experience at the company has been positive, there is one notable challenge that could possibly affect long‑term stability: the dependence on client contracts. If a major contract ends or a client’s needs shift, there is a certain degree of uncertainty. This reliance isn’t uncommon in our industry, but it does highlight the importance of building strong client relationships to provide more consistent long‑term stability.
