Imperial’s “Win as One Team” culture facilitates a collaborative work environment to build both a rewarding career and customer experience."

"I just celebrated 10 years at Imperial this year. Early on during my tenure at Imperial, I noticed the organization’s “people first” culture and opportunity to grow within the organization. I was hired initially for the Dedicated Account Advisor role, and after 3 years, I was promoted into our outside Sales Department, holding the positions of Key Accounts Manager and Corporate Accounts Manager. In 2022 I was promoted to a leadership level as Senior Manager, National Accounts. Being a part of a fast-growing organization and “people first” culture allows for career advancement like this, especially since Imperial has tools in place to help you achieve your career goals.
