Pros

When I said we are like a family I wasn't trying to be cliche and salesie; the truth is that we are a small company of under 50 employees. Occasionally we( employees) butt heads because of whatever reason. What I appreciate about The ISI Group (Loyaltyworks, Incentive Solutions and ISI Travel Solutions) is the strong presence of the management team. People can act like they run the show all they want or claim that the scales of justice are rigged, but every single decision made is voted on by the management team and whoever else is immediately involved. I would be doing a serious injustice to anyone desiring to apply or desiring to do business with us if I glossed over that there are some "strong personalities" located at 2299 Perimeter Park Drive. To put plainly, I know each and every single manager looks out for two things (1) the clients best interest and (2) the employees best interest. To put even more plain- Loyaltyworks and Incentive Solutions does not settle when it comes to our clients. All things that are designed or going out to clients are either "great" or "going back". I know that I have spent my fair share of late nights in the office, but it is only because my name is attached to whatever work I am assigned. I have never felt overbearing pressure from my manager or any manager, nor the CEO or president. We promote from within- I was promoted less than a year after I was hired. I feel like I have a voice; I feel like my voice matters to the management and senior management team. I feel invested in as an employee, and I have seen other employees who put in the time and work invested in. We get reward money to shop with in our online reward mall, which is pretty sweet, our rewards catalog is loaded. I have used it for the new house my fiance and I just bought. We seriously have a family culture, I realize I said it earlier.... but there is no other word which completely embodies all of us. Mark and Steve are the mommy and the daddy. Scott and Kelly occasionally have to step up to the plate but everything is decided in a democracy format. To make the analogy real, we recently moved locations/offices; Mark & Steve let the employees vote on the color of the carpet for the floors in the new space & the color of the paint schemes. It was a really fun process, and our new office looks bomb. We have fantastic benefits, there is a 401k match, we get holidays, they feed us whenever they take away our lunch hour, we get summer hours because we were voted one of the "Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in Atlanta" again (those are sweeeeet), we have biweekly office events, management team discusses everything- you bring up an issue to a manager & they will discuss it in their weekly meeting. Installing the white noise for offices was the single best investment we have made since moving.

Cons

You are expected to do the job you were hired to do; I know that I put this in the cons- I felt weird leaving cons blank. If you cannot preform the job you were hired to do it's tough love.

Thank you for your glowing review. We strive to make the environment a fun place as we keep our focus on moving the business forward. We value our employees and want them all to feel at home here. I agree that sometimes we must dish out tough love to someone that is not performing to their potential, but I would hope that it is always done with respect. I wish summer would last all year as well!

Pros

There's a good group of people here. We are all very supportive of one another and it shows in our work. The workflow is interesting. I feel like I am part of a winning team.

Cons

The cubicle walls are a bit short, but that actually helps out when you need to rely on the expertise of a colleague. It's too cold in here a lot of the time lol

Thanks for your post. We believe that we have a great culture and we try to foster that environment through our reward and recognition program as well as the company events. The cubicles were chosen to be specifically to short to promote collaboration which is one of our 6 company values. We are glad you love the environment (except for the temperature sometimes coming from the AC system!)

Pros

Small, intimate setting. Smaller company with smaller divisions, so everyone is involved and constantly collaborating. You learn a lot and are expected to pull your weight, which is a good thing. Mild to no micro-management. You can expect people to leave you alone and never bother you if you so desire. The responsibility is left up to you, because everyone here knows the works gets done, and that for the most part, we're motivated to achieving results.. We're all adults. If you fall behind, it's on you. That being said, 90% of the workforce here is extremely friendly and accommodating. Management looks for those eager to learn more and progress to the next level, and welcomes providing them with new assignments and opportunities. You won't transition overnight, but if you're serious about a career, expect to achieve upward mobility within 6-12 months. The benefits are nice, a little above average. Casual atmosphere. In that, while everyone is competent and professional, there's none of that big, fake, strained corporate 'correctness.' People here are human, vibrant, and engaging, which is very welcoming. It's not that stiff puppet environment where colleagues are weary of how they should act around others; instead, people just speak their mind and are not easily offended.

Cons

The work location could be a little better. The office is nice, but the surrounding area leaves a little to be desired. It's not that terrible though. Starting pay is a little below average, but if you're competent and eager to learn, you should see increases sooner than later.

Thank you for posting your review. We appreciate the feedback, both pros and cons. We do understand that the pay is a big focus on those just entering the work force but we need to balance that with the benefits we offer for those that have been in the workforce awhile. As we are a performance driven company, we would prefer to place a larger focus on pay for performance rather than just salary for just doing the job. This is why we pay such a high percent in profit sharing in additional to the 401k. While this is not immediate income, it will benefit the younger adults greater in the long run.
