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

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.
