Team APR

By Angela:

At American Profit Recovery we do more than collect money for our clients. We have fun together, raise money together and work hard together. As the years go on one thing always remains the same, our employees look forward to our annual “Employee Week”. During this week we raise money for Summer Charities of Choice and Adopt a Family and have a lot of fun doing this. It could be anything from Trivia, running around the office with a spoon trying not to drop a golf ball, or even getting an Oreo in your mouth that is placed on your forehead (you gotta see it to believe it). All of these events lead up […]

With Thanksgiving recently upon us, I could not help but stop and think about all the things I am thankful for this year. 2020 has taught many of us to be grateful for the little things like family, socializing, health, and simple things like being able to grocery shop. I am especially grateful that I chose to work at such a phenomenal place as I approach my third-year anniversary at American Profit Recovery.

Working as a collector I hear stories from consumers all around the nation about their struggles during this global pandemic. Many have lost jobs, loved ones, steady income, and things some of us will never be able to comprehend. I put myself in […]

2020 is clearly going to be remembered as the year of the pandemic.  Covid-19 dominated the news, and no one can deny how much it has impacted our lives.  For some it brought illness and grief, for others it brought unemployment and struggle, and for the fortunate ones it brought inconvenience.  However, I believe that it revealed some basic truths about us as people, and what we truly care about.  No, I’m not talking about stocking up on canned goods, bottled water, and toilet paper.  I’m also not talking about the strength of our internet bandwidth, or even our political beliefs.  What I am talking about are the fundamental things that all people […]

No surprise, but 2020 has been a challenge for all of us!  I find that in the most challenging and darkest times is when I have grown and reflected the most.  Even though we have all faced incredible challenges this year, there is SO much to be thankful for.  Thankful for our friends and family.  Thankful for living in the greatest country in the world, by far.  And then we have more […]

Theoretical Underpinnings

Our PR guy was in town this time last year and among all of the really good questions that were asked during filming, there was one that struck me. What gets you out of bed in the morning?

My first thought was when you have hobbies like hunting and fishing, you’re always awake before the sun comes up. It also means that you wait for the weekdays to ‘sleep in’ (if only until 5 am).

My second thought was about my childhood. When I was a kid we burned firewood in the winter to heat our home. It was a decent size, two-story house with a gambrel (barn-shaped) roof. The physics of wood heat is that […]

I have been through many changes in my life and never for one minute would I have thought I would change careers and become a collection specialist. In January I took a great leap of faith and was offered a job at American Profit Recovery. I feel it was the best thing I ever did. […]

As I come closer to my two-year anniversary here at American Profit Recovery, I can’t think of all the changes that happened ever since I walked in through the front door. Just like the majority of the world, I had a bad interpretation of what a debt collector is. After spending even the first few days in the company, I realized that the people that I work with really do care about helping our clients and consumers. It’s understandable that people are going to have a hard time with paying their debts, especially with COVID-19 affecting everyone’s lives. That’s where we step in to help, and I can truly say that American […]

When you make taking care of your employees your main mission as an organization, you never think that a pandemic could show you just why this is so critical to a business. While we miss the family atmosphere that once was our corporate office, the team-like way in which everyone rowed the same way, and the personal manner we help each other grow in a face to face environment, we have seen some of the most amazing teamwork during COVID-19 that we have ever seen.

We earned another spot on the Best Places to Work in Collections for the 13^th year in a row this past week, and we are all very proud. As an organization, […]

Working from home has been a huge adjustment, not only for the entire company but especially the customer service department.  Back when we were in the office we were known as “the favorite row”.  When you walked down the customer service isle you could feel the great energy, always joking around & laughing.  Since this transition we have had to find new ways to keep that relationship & Zoom has been a huge tool.

One of my favorite things to do back in the office was take our monthly CSR lunch.  As long as our department hits the monthly goal, we each take turns choosing somewhere to go out to eat.  I’m sure you can […]

As I sit back and reflect on the last few months and the changes that have taken place both within the office and personally, I can’t help but think WOW.  EVERYONE, is going through it! The good news is that American Profit Recovery is here! This may sound corny but, the reality is just that.

Sometimes I feel like I’m much more than a collector, I like to think I wear multiple hats. I’m a wife, a sister, a work team leader, a teammate, but most importantly, I’m me. In these times, even when things get rough you will learn what your capable of and the support you have had all along. I am […]
