IMA Financial Group

On the surface, IMA is a great company. They dedicate time and money to community service for organizations that need it. They promote a great work/life balance with a brand new unlimited PTO plan. They have great boardrooms and a workout facility on site. There are quite a few great amenities offered at this branch, there's even a personal barista that offers amazing drinks but with all that said, IMA recently underwent a complete organizational restructure, which, needless to say, has caused discontent within upper management and has lead to a trickle down effect to the associate level. This, coupled with poor strategies on how to advance employees, left quite a lot to be desired. This is a company that once had an amazing workplace culture, but in the last few years, it has gone down hill quite quickly.

IMA is, hands down, one of the best companies I've ever worked for - and not just because you get free Starbucks coffee and can wear jeans. There is a more casual atmosphere but that lends itself to the people being more real and down-to-earth. There is a real sense of community - the employees have a kind of support from management that makes them care about the clients more, the job more, and each other more.

The best part of the company is that it's very goal-oriented with its growth and is becoming more and more open to new ways (technological, processes, etc.) of attaining that growth while still managing the retention of clients and talent.

Unlimited PTO & good benefits are selling points to work at IMA.  Unfortunately workloads per desk are high.  Weekend work became a necessity & expected by management.  Unlimited PTO’s useless when you can’t actually afford to use it.  HR provided no help with a difficult situation and no follow-up was made by them to aid in resolution.  Managers reported to HR for bad actions remain in positions & even get promoted.  I originally thought my job experience was somewhat isolated but the more I asked, the more I found many others had same negative on-the-job experiences.  Employment over six years got worse, not better.  IMA sells itself well but actual employment experience was incredibly poor. 

Beyond the company having a solid position as a large independent broker, IMA does a great job of creating an environment that is positive and promotes long term careers. 

The company does a great job of tying the why behind internal policies back to values. Uncapped PTO is there because you're trusted to be a professional and and to develop a relationship with your manager and your team around getting the work done and not leaving loose ends. 

The Employee Ownership also creates a feeling of everyone being in it together and sharing in the wins.

IMA isn’t what it once was. The Denver office still has a great culture but that hasn’t translated to the Dallas office. Since new management has come in the environment has become toxic. Management is very threatening and condescending. I once told everyone I knew to apply but until leadership is replaced, I now tell everyone to avoid it. New market lead is also trying to do away with the Hybrid schedule.  From micromanaging to pitting employees against each other. It’s sad what’s happening here.

I've really enjoyed being part of this company. The leadership culture in my division is genuine and supportive which creates a positive environment where employees feel valued. The fast-paced energy keeps things exciting, and I fully believe in the company's vision and direction for the future.
Several exceptional female leaders who drive meaningful progress across the organization.
As with any rapidly growing company, there have been growing pains and a significant amount of change every day. I can see myself finishing out my career here. 

Lots of office politics involved. Sink or swim scenario. Lack of proper training and support sets you up for failure. If you are new, people will not welcome you in, especially in the Ethanol team. Negative, negative, and negative attitudes on the ethanol team. If they like you, they like. If they don’t; then you’re in trouble.

After investing time into multiple rounds of interviews, I was unfortunately ghosted and never received a follow-up. This lack of communication feels highly unprofessional and inconsiderate of my time. 

Furthermore, while the company emphasized a strong commitment to DEI during the group interview process, the lack of representation within the interview panels themselves felt contradictory to those stated values. 

Overall, this company lacks diversity, unprofessionalism and I am glad to have lucked out.

My experience started out positive with the office being in a growth state. Starting my 2nd year there, people began leaving one after another and in pairs. They were losing business due to loyal clients leaving  and my departure was a negative experience. In the beginning I thought the culture was great, I left feeling like I was not seen as or treated as a whole person, just a number. My career path was not valued, I was overlooked and my voice was not heard. Overall a disappointing experience.
