Are you a name or a number with your employer? If the owner, CFO, or president of your company was to walk by you, would they acknowledge you by name? If not, you are probably just a number and not an actual name in your company; and, for certain, you do not work for Big Ass Fans.

Perhaps uncommon to most businesses, at Big Ass Fans, it’s not unusual to see our Chief Big Ass (aka Carey Smith, President and Owner of Big Ass Fans) actively check out the day-to-day operations of business. On days when he is in the office, he makes a point of visiting and walking through every department at least once. Not only does he make his presence known, but he usually invests time to stop and acknowledge his employees. It may be a simple, “Hey, how’s it going?” Or, perhaps a comment about football the previous Sunday; regardless, he stops to converse with his employees and knows everyone by name. Regardless of what he says or does, Mr. Smith constantly perpetuates an attitude of care and concern for his employees.

Even those that are not part of the “Big Ass” family (i.e.: visitors, customers, vendor, etc…) feel right at home as soon as they walk through the doors of the building. In fact, from the moment guests walk in the building, they have an idea of who every employee at Big Ass Fans is. Not only are they greeted by everyone’s picture, name, and date of hire, but they also are provided with a sense of the Big Ass humor, by reading the personal quote that each employee has on the bottom of their photograph.

More than just a number.

So, in just a glance there is a name to connect with the face, and a bit of personality to go with it. It truly presents a unique experience for visitors interested in touring Big Ass Fans’ facilities. Additionally, as an employee, one has the opportunity to work for a Company whose priority is getting to know their employees. It not only provides everyone with a happier, healthier working environment, but, it also encourages a feeling of belonging and a sense that the work done here forty hours a week is worth-while and important, not only to our customers, but also to the man who signs our paychecks!

Big Ass Fans employees always enjoy some healthy competition. That’s why we have a game area in our company headquarters and regularly form company teams for local rec leagues. The summer volleyball league at a local watering hole is certainly no exception.

Family Feud at Volleyball

Interest in Volleyball was so high that we were able to fill three different teams. So it was inevitable that two Big Ass Fans teams would face each other.  Team Big Ass Fans Isis went head to head with Team Big Ass Fans Powerfoil X. I know, creative team names, huh?

Team BAF Isis put forth a valiant effort but could not muster a win in the three game series.
