Pros

You can get hired and learn to be a manager. If the client likes you, you're safe from anything happening.

Cons

Pay is less than others offer. There are no benefits. The insurance is too expensive for anyone to buy. I had to get Obamacare. Company doesn't offer 401k matches. The CEO emails everyone talking about how great the company is doing, but he doesn't invest a single cent in keeping his employees.

Pros

Excellent facility to work at, beautiful suburban campus. This just happened to be the case; IST had no control over that feature.

Cons

I was warmly welcomed aboard though I had little direct experience. The company and I both considered myself overeducated and overqualified. for the job, but I was winding down a long career and looking for something uncomplicated. I was promised direct supervisor training weekly, but received almost none. Company leadership seemed distracted, and feedback eventually included veiled threats of dismissal without clear explanation. No proactive leadership per se. The customer was very cold from day 1 and obviously did not want me on the job. Very little company support for me or my team, only disciplinary measures.
