      Pros

      Very flexible and understanding of family life. Work life balance exists. Unlimited sick time. Projects move quickly and everyone gets a chance to work with different teams where they get high profile time

      Cons

      People are weirdly religious. Bible church religious. They have a chaplain and pray before meetings. Privately held family company so their prerogative but it gets to be a little much if you are not of the same faith. A lot of nepotism

      Pros

      The best reasons to work for IBSA (corporate office) would be (1) the Christian culture (2) the "promote within" and hire friends and family mentality (3) get to wear jeans and casual clothes (including tennis shoes) daily (4) access to work related as well as personal support (5) great family and personal benefits (6) everyone seems to be treated the same, no matter how far up on the food chain you are (7) free race tickets :o) (8) the level of respect from other companies, vendors, and individuals when you tell them you work for IBSA (9) the laid back culture - open door policy from upper management, and they actually listen to your compliments and complaints, and work towards a resolution if you have supporting documentation behind a complaint (10) listed by Dallas Morning News in 2009 as a "Recession Resistant Retail Company" which is hard to find with the current economy (11) never, in the history of the company, have they had a downsizing or layoff of corporate employees.

      Cons

      Just as the friends / family employee culture can be positive, it can also backfire and become negative. For example, if an employee is under performing, upper management is much more lenient if the employee has "connections" somewhere in the company. This places a large burden on the other employees in the group that actually perform, and have to carry the weight of others. It also starts causing resentment and loyalty issues for those that seem to have better work ethics. I believe that one should be rewarded for good work ethics, and placed on a strict probation for poor work ethics, regardless of your "connections".
