I've worked with relatives and found the experience very rewarding.  I suppose it depends on the set up, people's temperaments and objectives.

Some years ago, I employed a friend who was in between jobs.  It wasn't a success because she resented working for me, even though she was being paid more than the going rate. 

The upshot of all this is that I would work with relatives, depending on the circumstances, but I wouldn't employ friends.
