Pros

While working at IBC under G.Fred DiBona it was a very rewarding experience and the company experienced a lot of growth. There was a lot of room for growth, the organization had a great tuition reimbursement plan, yearly bonus, Christmas parties, and incentives for going above and beyond.

Cons

After the passing of G. Fred it seemed to all go downhill. There were multiple changes in leadership, as everyone wanted to be the leader that fulfilled the merger with Highmark. This carrot in front of the horse method seemed to only effect those at the top, but it gradually trickled down to those below. There is little to no room for advancement and one will find themselves pigeon-holed in one position if not knowing or sucking up to the right people. Hard workers are not developed for advancement. However, management is fond of bringing their friends in from the outside, or transferring from other areas because the person is in jeopardy of loosing their job. Additionally, IBC is famous for laying off whole departments, or having you train your replacement prior to your own layoff.
