On the phones answering clients questions and handling there accounts. Open door policy and managers are easy going but very forward. Co-works are easy to get along with. Hardest part of the job is taking calls back to back with out a break. Being able to help people with there accounts and getting them connected with online access.

the managers made it difficult for you to succeed in your job and did not like to answer questions.

I am a former employee who left on my own for another job. The stress and poor management is extreme. A lot of unfair promotions with "friends" of those in power. Poor morals and too many higher ups getting paid big fat salaries for doing nothing but roaming the Internet and getting others to do their work. Stay away if you know whats good for you.

DST was an invaluable experience because of the teamwork atmosphere. I was fortunate to work with a team that was eager to share knowledge, provide assistance, and all were dedicated professionals.

I work in the part time division in Kansas City, MO. Great spot and great pay for college students. Great flexibility and decent hours.

Any level of employees have a good opportunity to further education within the company and outside of the company. Has a great benefit package including: health, dental, vision, and time off.

very stressful without good training management is not helpful making trades daily for mutual funds

Good to great benefits, decent compensation, excellent, highly talented workforce. Company is going through a transitional period, so job security has become sketchy. Used to be a great place to transition from a customer service type job to a technical position. Still a wonderful place to work if you're in a stable, profitable business segment of the – more... company. – less

Great people to work with, and very strong technically. We worked with Agile/Scrum project methodology.

DST had many opportunities for growth and advancement in the past. The latest financial downturn (recession) has affected it as well. There is little opportunity for growth as the company has been doing layoffs over the past few years.

Benefits are excellent.

Management is evolving. DST has implemented an engagement strategy to improve trust between – more... lower level employees and senior level management. This is improving communication and the overall culture of the company.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the wonderful people. The average tenure of employee is 8 years. Working amongst cross-functional teams is improved due to the seniority of the staff.

The hardest part of the job was constantly having to work harder and longer with fewer resources. 60 hour weeks were not uncommon. – less

DST is a good place to work. The work is challenging and interesting. You get to work with many different clients in the mutual fund industry.

A typical work day was busy, but manageable. Employees were given the opportunity to attend internal training in a variety of classes; some directly work-related; some relating to personal and professional growth. I enjoyed interaction with my co-workers and was energized by the example they set, as well as their interest in my capabilities of offering – more... guidance and support in an effort to move in a positive direction: In short, we worked well together as a team. I worked routinely with strict deadlines, and met them successfully - not always an easy task. – less

Typically worked 9-10 hr. days, with no break. Enjoyed the co-workers. With the amount of work, it was hard to take any time off.

After the financial meltdown DST implemented a policy that, for mistakes involving lines of business with high service-level penalties, everyone involved in the chain of failure would be terminated on the spot, regardless of past satisfactory performance. No excuses. Co-workers suffer together and watch each others' backs. The hardest part of the job – more... is being on call and handling 20 to 25 pages over a weekend, being paged around the clock. Monday after on call is a full workday. – less

It is not a place to advance at and the management is very controlling.

DST is an excellent company to work for with awesome benefits.

DST Systems Inc. is a family origin. We get together to help our co-workers to get ahead on good and bad days. Acknowledgement is the bad things about DST Managers. Giving out recognition to all employees when they do a great job doing the years.

This job is answering phone calls and helping customers with their account. It can be a very rewarding job when you can help someone in need that is hurting. My coworkers are amazing and I love working with them.
