Pros

Flexible work environment. Entrepreneurial culture that embraces pursing a better way to deliver value to clients. Extreme dedication to serving and making a difference for clients. Open environment to provide positive and negative feedback.

Cons

The focus or "why" of Interstates Control Systems is to deliver for their clients and drive high returns to capital for the shareholders. Employees are neither the focus nor part of the "why". This manifests itself in a variety of ways including lagging employee salaries, long work hours, stingy vacation benefits, etc. In short, life is pretty good if you are a client or shareholder of Interstates Control Systems but for the average employee you can do better.
