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.

Pros

Working at the client site offers a professional atmosphere, and the on-site client team is generally supportive and appreciative of hard work. There is a degree of autonomy in managing daily site operations once you are settled in.

Cons

Lack of Training: Placed into a management role without adequate training or onboarding. Expected to figure out and create procedures and protocols on your own Role Clarity & Scope Creep: The job description does not match the day-to-day reality or general responsibility scopes. Compensation & Benefits:Pay is not competitive with the local cost of living. Company health benefits are difficult to access due to high premiums and deductibles, making them effectively unaffordable Limited Growth: There is little room for professional advancement or career growth.
