What is the best part of working at the company?
They prorate your sick and vacation leave and they have a good training program available.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The Topeka branch is small and the newly promoted branch manager needs additional training in leadership.    There was a a double standard for his family member and the other non-family members that work there.    Also, I was expected to complete online training but never given the time to complete said training.   

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company as a whole is a great company with steady growth and a solid history of serving it's customers well.   At the branch level, the corporate values tend to get diluted down to what the local manager deems important so there is an issue with continuity.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pretty straight forward for the delivery driver/warehouse position.   You will do the majority of the manual labor alone while the inside sales people play on their phone or crochet on a slow day.

For me personally the only issue was with my schedule add ons. I had two full time jobs at the time. Some days it was a 7am-3:30 Monday-friday which worked for me to work evenings shifts at my second job. However some days we would have alot of last minute deliveys and would leave me no choice but to stay late, but the only real issue for me and my schedule was with the mandatory on call, so each week one driver has to be on call and to make it fair it's mandatory for everyone 1 w a month. Now for anyone without kids or a second job that would be cool cus it can be beneficial you get $100 bonce for having to be on call meaning no drinking for a 7 day week lol then you get $15h for any after-hour call and any calls after 11pm-5am $25H and it's usually between 1-4 am you'll get those calls🤑 but it meant I would have to try and request a whole week off from my other job I managed to make it work for a little over a year, after the shutdown in 2020 I just moved on to the next opportunity 


Corporate office located in Merriam KS has may opportunities to advance your career. We have positions from Delivery Driver, Warehouse Worker, Sales, Product Specialist, Business Group Directors, Marketing, E-Com, Accounting, Executive Positions, and many many more. So many IBT employees start their career at the bottom and work their way up through the organization. Many of these employees are still here today and have over 40 years of service. This is the only company I have worked for where there are so many employees that have more than 30 years with the same organization. This is not achieved without a great management team and owners who are involved and truly care about their employees!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Family oriented owned company where the owner knows you by name and at every level of management they take pride in making you feel like you matter and will listen to you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
That we sell a variety of different products can sometimes be stressful and hard to focus and fully learn one product in depth but in all its what makes it interesting and a never ending learning experience.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The best!!  Family owned and family oriented in every level!!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fun and never a dull moment interacting with customers everyday in a positive environment

Have to work on your days off as well if they want you to
No job security you could get kicked out anytime
If they say 7 days a week you have to no choice 

No clear instructions from supervisors and managers are all miserable buggers that love to show power over all their employees.

Did nothing but work hard here, just for the manager to come lying to me saying 'I havent been following orders' , as an excuse to get rid, because work was starting to run low. Employees are not valued and are replaced daily.

I was also left chasing my last week pay for over a month, via my agency, leading to no end of hassel.

I worked here for about 5 years in my early to mid twenties.
this company aims to please, they give you knowledge, most of which I still use.
It is an industrial supply and bearing company. they put you in school to learn the trade.
benefits and pay were pretty good back then, It was around 13.00 an hour when I worked  there.
the hours can be very demanding depending on who your working with.but in the end it was fun, I met and worked with great people and took life knowledge away from this job.

IBT prides itself on its 4 pillars....Family & Community, Positive Customer Experience, Leadership, and Integrity. All of these are evident by the number of long term employees, many of them with 30-40 years with the company. Average tenure is 20+ years of service and that is due in part to the great managers and the family environment. 
Everyone is extremely friendly and will work together to accomplish a goal.

Although it is somewhat productive and super fun Company ...there is a ton of management and department issues. They have a revolving door for employees which is unfortunate! If focus was put into place at IBT in the proper departments, I really think It could excel like it has in the past. Now it is fun because mainly you have no management and its kind of a "fly by the seat of your pants" world.

During a typical day in the office I would arrange meetings, create meeting minutes, manage calendars for up to eight Vice Presidents, plan travel, complete expense reports, compose letters and documents,  as well as order supplies.
Additional occasional tasks:  Help plan and facilitate customer events and annual awards meetings as well as manage renovation projects.

I worked my way up the ladder taking jobs no one else would do. I did everything that was asked of me plus went beyond my duties. I worked overtime when we needed to catch up orders when I didn't have to. Only to come in on a Friday and was told I was laid off with no warning.
