Pros

IFM management really treat their employees with great respect. There is daily communication and always jump at any request from employees, if within reason. From field trips to celebrating every ones birthday and anniversary. Great company to work for if your willing to work!!

Cons

Travel distance is a little far, but IFM make it worth the trip.

Pros

Everyone is about the business and very ENGAGED in the daily functions. Employees IDEAS are not stifled, Employees are ENCOURAGED to lend to process improvements because it is to the employees' BENEFIT. Continual LEARNING and always busy. Laptops for FLEXIBILITY! You not only leave feeling like you made a DIFFERENCE but you don't mind coming back. Wonderful co-workers is also a great feature. FLEXIBILITY! The company does many drives and events for several causes in and out of state. The execs try to know everyone by name which is NICE. You are not just that random person in the breakroom. The company ENCOURAGES eating healthy and exercise even though they are always buying food? I could go on because they really want to make you feel apart of the company on day one.

Cons

All companies have issues. If you have more than one person involved in anything you will have issues. What differentiates a good company from say a less desirable is. A good company acknowledges that it has issues and works to resolve or at least minimize them. It is my belief ifm does this currently.

Pros

There are numerous reasons to love working for ifm. Here are just a few... The corporate US headquarters in Malvern is a contemporary facility with modern amenities. Decent salary and the benefits are good. ifm prioritizes keeping the healthcare costs for both individual and families incredibly low. Upper management clearly cares about their employees as individual people and are there for you if you need them. Open door culture encourages anyone and everyone to speak directly to the CEO or other upper management; typical corporate sense of superiority does not exist at ifm, and the casual nature of management makes them approachable. Healthy living is strongly encouraged. Offices provide standing desks, employee gym facilities (free), tons of natural light and visibility to the outside from all over the building (corporate headquarters), charitable community activities and more. Kind, considerate and fun co-workers with an overall feeling of working with family. Working excessive hours or outside standard business hours is not expected of you on any regular basis. ifm is consistently growing and developing new ideas and concepts that inspire innovation and keep the company relevant.

Cons

Even though management is flexible with work/life balance when asked, the lack of formal policy is felt throughout the company. For a company as progressive as ifm, they have a long way to go to truly be as forward thinking with their employees as they are with their business model. The minimal sick time (5 days) and lack of work-from-home or family leave policies make it difficult for someone with a young family, or a family with two working parents, to work at ifm without sacrificing some things at home.
