Great place to start in technical sales, difficult to stay

Business Outlook

Pros

Great product, stable company, work flexibility, well respected.

Cons

I left after 5+ years after watching collegues leave for other organizations and be promoted to Directors, Managers, and National Sales Mgrs within 1-3 years leaving ifm. The expectations are being at ifm for 10+years before given any real advancement to manager. It is difficult waiting for that opportunity when there are manager favorites with 5-10+ years experience ahead of you. No outside hires contribute to a groupthink mentality of people that have been with company for 20-30 years. Compensation varies greatly by manager favorites. At times, unprofessional behavior exhibited by managers.
