Pros

Nice Coworkers, sometimes you get free lunches. Thats about it.

Cons

Under paid. Over worked. They will hire anyone, people who don't even know how to turn on a computer! You don't feel like a valued employee. District manager comes once a week or so, but never really talks to anyone else besides the manager on site. They will treat you like janitors, cleaning out spills and such in the fridge or anywhere actually.They don't offer much of a raise or any promotions, so don't even consider trying to move up in the company. They don't promote from within either. They will hire a new manger and make you train them. IST was one of the worse companies I have ever worked for.

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.

None come to mind at this time.
