My Employee Week Experience

By Michael:

American Profit Recovery’s Annual Employee Week was awesome this year. We shared good food, played many in-office games, and had some great times at after-work events, including a picnic. We also received some of the coolest prizes.

I wanted to share three things that I absolutely love about employee week.

To start, I had a great time playing the team challenges, and it was so much fun watching everyone compete for team prizes. Everything was carnival-themed, and the team that I was on was called the Ringmasters. One of the team challenges that my fellow Ringmasters and I played was “whoever could make animal balloons the fastest won. “It was very entertaining rooting on my team and trying to contribute. Bruce was a professional at it and carried us to victory that day. Although we did not win the team prize, I still had a very good time.

One of my favorite activities is the trivia prizes, and everyone loves the “pie a manager in the face” prize. To put things in perspective, Georgia pied her manager Greg last year, and since then Georgia got a promotion, making her eligible to get pied. When Greg won the ‘pie a manger in the face’ prize, everyone looked at Georgia thinking Greg was going to get payback. But he threw us a curveball and got revenge on Bruce for when Bruce pied him years prior.

Everyone enjoyed this so much and it was evident as the number of decibels in the room rose to ninety-one briefly. Which was louder than when the trip to Las Vegas was announced, which is another awesome prize.

Lastly, but most important, I love bonding with all my co-workers, they’re the ones who make this a great place to work. The culture here is fantastic. During Employee Week there are more opportunities to bond than in a normal work week.  Whether it’s at the escape room, bowling or during the minute to win it challenges, everyone has a great time playing together. American Profit Recovery is a medium sized company but feels like one large family, we care deeply about each other, and all have shared values and ethics.

To wrap things up I just want to give a massive shout out to the owners of American Profit Recovery because without them, this company wouldn’t be as amazing as it is. I have worked plenty of different jobs in my life, and this one has by far been my favorite. The appreciation that they show us extends past employee week as I feel appreciated every day I come to work and look forward to continuing my career here.
