Pros

It is possible to get OT, which you will need at $12/hour, outside of that they need to make changes that align with 2015..

Cons

The entire aspect of how they run the company. I am not quite sure why anyone would want to make a career here. They offer 0 paid time off (what you do earn is only enough time to cover federal holidays), if the company you are working at has a day off you will not get paid. You also do not get paid holidays, that's right, you are required to use the PTO you do get for Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July and on. You are made to feel like a "yes man/woman" even if it means putting up with rudeness from clients. I had a manager tell me "we never say no." That is crazy, especially when it is a request that may not be able to be done.

My name is Lori Michum, VP Administration at our IST Corporate Office. I would like the opportunity to explain how our paid time off benefits can be used for vacation, personal and holiday time. If you would like clarification, please contact me at lmitchum@istmanagement.com.

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

Opportunity to learn different skills.

Cons

No room for advancement, if a company decides they like your work and wants to hire you IST will deny them and you that opportunity. IST DOES NOT SUPPORT THEIR EMPLOYEES ADVANCEMENT.
