Testimonials
IES differs from other employers through Trust. Collaboration. Fun. Accountability. Balance. It feels like family here.
IES has helped me grow in my professional career by allowing time outside of the office to attend networking events, conferences, training, etc. Employees are encouraged to meet their personal and professional goals which help us to thrive while we are at work.
IES has helped my career goals by allowing me to be exposed to different aspects of payroll. I was able to get training on new topics that I was unfamiliar with.
Trust is paramount at IES and because of this environment, employees can unleash creativity and work collaboratively to identify solutions all the while having fun and balancing work/life.
I look forward to coming to work at IES each day because each day is a new learning opportunity—and whatever it is, you know that you have a supportive and encouraging team to back you up.
I want to come to work every day at IES because as employees we are empowered to make decisions dealing with our contingent employees, we have fun and our commitment to the community.
I want to come to work every day at IES because of the people. Without a doubt our jobs are hard, they are filled with deadlines, demands, risk mitigation, and compliance and without the support of our coworkers, it would be much harder (and less fun!)
IES is filled with top quality people in passionate pursuit of our common corporate goals, and I think the culture strikes a perfect balance of both professional and personal growth and well-being.
Our culture of positivity, collaboration, and service is shared in our office as well as with the clients we partner with.
IES truly cares about the people and wants to give them opportunities to grow and advance in their careers. Identifying people’s strengths and competencies is a big part of the culture here and giving people the opportunity to develop their careers is a solid reason why we have been able to retain our seasoned staff.
“Work-Life Balance,” they truly mean it. Family comes first and IES provides an environment where you do not need to feel torn between personal and professional.
I started at IES because I knew it was a solid company with great leadership. I didn’t have a chosen career path at the time and IES helped me discover my strengths and provided excellent mentorship that excelled my career.
At IES we know how to work and play and it’s important for our soul!
Working at IES is nothing but Encouraging
My internal colleagues brighten each and every day at IES! Every single person is available to collaborate with, helping us ensure our clients get the best of us and our service. Without this strong internal team, we wouldn’t be able to exceed our client’s expectations. We are a team, and it shows.
