Team APR

By Peggy Q.

When I first started at American Profit Recovery in October, I was immediately impressed by the company’s commitment to the community and charitable organizations.  To say APR “gives back” or “pays it forward” are understatements.  In November, we collected toiletries for vets in need, adopted 3 local families for Christmas,  raised money for the ACA Scholarship Fund in March and adopted a park in April.  Little did I know at the time, that my family would benefit from one of our efforts!   

In April, my daughter Kiera applied for, and was awarded a $1000 ACA Scholarship that she can use at the college of her choice  (hint–Go […]

Several of our team members joined many other brave souls as they jumped into icy cold water this past week to raise money for the athletes of Special Olympics Michigan. It’s a very important cause and our team jumped head first into the event.

The Polar Plunge is an annual event not only in Michigan but across the country. It raises funds for the athletic and health programs of Special Olympics and our team was proud to once again take part in this.
We joined 18 other teams and the event raised close to $40,000. Our team raised close to $1,000 this year alone freezing in the cold water for as long as they could stand it. […]

The best part of the holiday season is when you’re able to give your time and effort to a cause that helps others. One of the most fun, heartwarming and fulfilling causes that I have participated in the recent years is the Adopt-a-Family program. Being able to come together with my coworkers to help raise money and provide a Christmas for multiple families is one of the most rewarding feelings I have ever experienced.

The families that APR have adopted have always asked mostly for items that the children needed as far as clothes and day-to-day items with a few entertainment […]

I’ve been talking about our three core values; integrity, work ethic and now this one, positive attitude. I like to believe that we weed this type of thing out when we bring a team member on board here. In fact, I would think unless you’re hiring for a sleep study, you’re looking for someone to represent your company that has a positive attitude. I know this collection agency does…

If you know us, you know we are always really excited about what we do here. In short, we help people. We help businesses stay in business and we help consumers resolve their debt. We also help bridge the divide […]

As a collection agency, we pride ourselves here on having one of the best teams in the industry. As I mentioned before, our core values drive us in everything we do. We constantly focus on them and we are reminded daily of these values; from top management all the way down. We talked about integrity last time and how important, especially in this business to be as honest as possible in everything you do.

But what about work ethic? Equally as important is how we conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity is how we conduct ourselves in the workplace. We never want to force anyone to do their job. […]

Too often, words are thrown around in corporate America to describe their culture, environment and their philosophy of business. No offense to our PR guy but sometimes these words are just slapped together from communications or marketing people because they think that’s what people want to hear. Well one thing is right; they do want to hear them but they insist on you walking the walk and talking the talk.

We have among others, three core values at this collection agency; Integrity, work ethic and positive attitude. Our first is integrity.

It’s no secret that we are in a tough business. Many don’t have a favorable perception of our business […]

This was my first employee week, and I have to say it was an amazing experience. We ate a lot of food and had a lot of laughs. My favorite part was the ‘mock elections’/company call where I got to put a whip cream pie in one of the manager’s faces.  It was the best way to end the week, in my humble opinion!

And check out the pie in the face video again. You can never see too much of that!
