Team APR

It’s that time of year!  We’re almost to the start of the upcoming pro football season!  So, I am watching every report from my team’s training camp, paying close attention to all the roster moves, and pretending that it doesn’t bother me that the experts think my team is going to be pretty bad this year.  Anyway, I’ve also been watching all the behind-the scenes shows about mine and other team’s training camps, and interestingly enough I’m seeing a lot of similarities in the way these teams operate compared to how we work here at American Profit Recovery.  Many of these teams talk about the “culture” of their team, and so much of that seems […]

Recently, we celebrated employee week at American Profit Recovery. This week happens once a year in the summer time and is probably one of the most fun weeks of the year at the company. For this week, all employees split into teams and compete in a week long, friendly competition, with the winning team receiving prizes at the end of the week. Also, numerous events, games, and meals are held across the whole week, both during and after work. These include trivia games, “Minute to Win It” style games, lunches and breakfast provided by the company, a night of bowling, and a Detroit Tigers baseball game.

It’s Thanksgiving. Family that rarely gets to together and family that always gets together are all together! The meal is long, temperaments are short, kids are being kids, spirits are flowing and emotional eruption ensues. Explosive personalities, kids thrown in cars tearing out of driveways. The ‘Thanks’ and the ‘Giving’ are all but over with….until next year.

The mistake is thinking by ignoring it, not discussing it, that it’s as if it never happened. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those feelings don’t just go away, they are not easily forgiven and never forgotten, they just get buried deep down until […]

When I walked into the Michigan Job Fair on August 30th, I didn’t know what to expect. I went to a few tables talking to different companies, but one company stood out from the rest. That company was American Profit Recovery (APR). Now, I had no intentions in the beginning of becoming a Collection Specialist at a collection agency. I come from a background of Retail, being a Manager, Human Resources, and Customer Service. I also just recently graduated from EMU. But APR’s presentation at the job fair was awesome. The managers were very personable, and answered any questions that you had. I ended up speaking with my current manager now, Brian, for […]

One of my favorite times of the year at this collection agency, American Profit Recovery, is Employee Week.  It’s a time when the owners give back to the employees for all of the hard work they put in every single day.  Each year is a different theme, this year was the 90’s and I have to say dress up day was hilarious!  We attend a Tigers game every year that everyone looks forward too.  It is a good time to get to know your fellow coworkers outside of the work environment. 

Bowling night as well, one of the most competitive times of the year, […]

One of the best perks of my job is hiring and training new debt collectors.  I love talking to candidates about American Profit Recovery, and the people I work with at this collection agency.  I love explaining how enthusiastic I am about what I do for a living, and how much fulfillment I get out of my career.  I love to show them how what we do not only benefits our client’s bottom line, but also helps consumers fulfill their financial obligation in a way that ensures that they can still do business with that client.  I think it’s a tremendous compliment to the company, as well as the debt collection industry, when someone is […]
