Pros

- Easy to get hired - Learning the basics is easy - No experience needed - Minimum benefits - Great customer service overall - Great software... when it is implemented properly - SOPs for everything

Cons

- 401K matches only $500/year - Growth is slow/non-existant compared to the timeline stated by HR. - Unethical in so many ways: IST Management has a few dirty secrets.. - No support from senior management to lower level. They are never accountable: you will take the blame. - Cut employees' hours even the client paid for the hours. - Service Specialist starts at minimum wage. After about 2 years, your hourly wage is capped unless you get into the next level which can be near to impossible. - Turn-over is insane: at least 200+ a year. - Promises by senior management are rarely kept for both employees and clients. - Tech support is terrible. All the good people are gone.

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.
