WHY I L VE IGS

IGS Energy is powered by 1,300 creative, resourceful professionals from a variety of backgrounds—all united in providing value and service to the company’s 3 million+ customers and driving a pragmatic approach to purposeful change. They say IGS’s “People are Why” philosophy manifests in a supportive culture that starts with leadership and spreads throughout the organization. More than a list of guiding principles stenciled on an office wall, IGS actually puts money into its goal to create a happy, productive workforce. This commitment is evident through its generous benefits, flexible work schedules, Positive Foundry program, DISC personality tools and mindfulness app subscriptions for all employees. Team members also relish being part of what they see as an authentic, purpose-driven company with a mission to work for environmental sustainability. Here’s why a handful of them said they’re passionate about using their talents here.

“The talent, ability to work across teams, friendliness and humor make each day feel like more than work. It’s the sense of a community of fantastic people and leaders that I’m lucky enough to call not just colleagues, but often friends.” —Wayne

Edens

“IGS’ers are authentic and are empowered to be themselves (which often leads to many laughs!). Relationships matter here, families matter here, mental health matters here. Contributing to our communities matters here. It’s not often a company lives up to its values a nd holds up the ‘people-first’ mentality, but I continue to see it guide our decisions daily.” —Nicole

Berger

“It’s hard to explain to other people how much we all truly care about each other and want each other to succeed. (And) leadership cares about the employees and invests in us. IGS is investing in every employee by sending us through the Positive Foundry program. They truly care.” —Andrea

Wilkins

“IGS Energy is a great place to work because it embodies an environment where everyone is welcome. It reminds me of the pay-it-forward concept—when one of us wins, we all win.” —Michika

Davis

“I’m not sure I can put into words why IGS Energy is such a great place to work. The people I get to hang out with every day make this place amazing. They’ve been around to congratulate some of my family’s greatest moments, and they’ve also been there to give me a hug when we’ve had our lowest moments.” —Jason

Richards

“I think IGS Energy is a great place to work because of the way they invest in and care about their employees. IGS considers us to be people—thinking and feeling individuals— and the company takes great steps to acknowledge that. I’m very happy to be part of an organization that considers every angle of what makes success possible in the industry that we work in.” —Carter

Tyre

“IGS is a great place to work because I get to work with people who challenge me each and every day. We are all truly empowered to be ourselves and build toward becoming the best versions of ourselves. It is awesome getting to work somewhere that really makes an impact for our customers. There is a family feel at IGS that is truly unique, and it’s one of those feelings that only strengthens the longer you’ve been here.”

—Lusiano Guerrero

“Every team and group at IGS Energy is friendly and extremely helpful. Pair that with the company’s technology, forwardthinking culture and awesome sustainability goals, and you have the best place I’ve worked at.” —Eric

Hale

“This company is so supportive of its employees, and the culture here enables coworkers to become family. When my husband had some serious health problems, this work family stepped in and took care of us, providing dinners and even LEGOs for my kids to keep them occupied while their dad was in the hospital. The impact IGS has had on my family is immeasurable, and I can’t be more happy to be a part of this place!” —Adrienne

Pietropaolo

“IGS Energy is a great place to work because I feel that my workplace is an extension of my family. The quality of my relationships with colleagues is on another level!” —Neha

Sharma

“IGS is a great place to work because I have a team and company that support me personally and professionally. I’ve experienced a lot of big life changes while at IGS—buying a house, getting married and having a baby. My team has been there to cheer me on and celebrate, whether it’s my counterparts in HR or those I support in the business. They also lift me up when life has been stressful. It really means a lot to me when I can have those relationships and it’s not strictly about business all the time. In addition, IGS focuses on what we should do for employees, not just what we have to do. Being able to take a completely paid maternity leave was a relief. I was able to focus on my son and not worry about having a paycheck coming in. I was able to be flexible with my schedule as I returned. These aren’t always offered at other companies, but IGS does because it’s the right thing to do.”

Nash

“IGS Energy is a great place to work because my peers and leaders are invested in my development and growth, both at and outside of work. I also love IGS’s commitment to sustainability and consciousness of our environmental impact. All in all, I get to have fun working for a company whose mission I believe in, and I get to do it alongside some pretty great people!” —Luke

Ackerman

“IGS is a great place to work because the company and team members are the most positive, kind and supportive people that I’ve ever encountered. I love how IGS encourages me to do better and be better, both at work and in my personal life. I used to love being in my comfort zone, but I was never growing there. IGS is constantly evolving, and that has pushed me to evolve and grow as well. IGS has helped me in so many ways, and I will forever be grateful to work for such an amazing company.”

—Jenna Majernik

“IGS is a great place to work because we are intentional about the environment and going green. We are intentional with the way we support one another both inside and outside the office. We are intentional about providing tools to improve our physical, mental and overall wellbeing. We are intentional in maintaining a warm, friendly and caring culture. And we are intentional about doing the right thing.”

—Taylor Larr

“IGS Energy is a great place to work because, when it comes down to it, there is no place I’d rather be. Coworkers are part of my extended family. We support each other through challenges and celebrate each success and life change together. When your daughter comes home from school and tells you that she put in a request to be the President of IGS Energy during BizTown, you know some of that great ‘energy’ is rubbing off!”
