Pros

-Good job for learning office equipment -The only positive part about this job for me was the actualy client. They showed me more than IST and my manager

Cons

-This company is filled with the most unprofessional management I have ever worked for. My specific site manager cut our hours to hide the fact that they were showing up late and leaving early. They also would tell us we were not allowed to do specific things such as use the computers for personal use and have our phones out but they would online shop, engage in social networking on the work PC's and use their cell phones at all hours they were at work. Our site supervisor would also constantly gossip about their IST Employees as well as the client! They would express their opinion so strongly that it was to the point the client had to say something to corporate, yet nothing was done...I complained on more than one occasion and everytime they said something would be done and changes would be made; nothing ever was. Aside from the terrible management the compensation is very low and employees constantly miss work without any notice what-so-ever with no repercussions. This is highly frustrating for a employee who comes to work everyday and works hard when they are there with no acknowledgement.

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.
