Our Culture

AFS has a reputation of delivering excellence, because we are built on excellence. We are the collaborative sum of our best-in-class industry experts, drawing on the skills and commitment from all our employees to meet the industry’s biggest challenges. But we know that a strong team is made up of strong individuals – and here at AFS we take the time to celebrate the unique personalities that make up the AFS family and support the communities we come from.

Celebrating Our Employees

We appreciate and celebrate our employees; what they contribute at work and who they are outside of the AFS walls. AFS understands that our people work better when, every once in a while, we take a bit of a breather in the middle of the work day and spend some time with our co-workers outside of meetings and deadlines and client demands. 

We have some interesting people working at AFS…

We know our employees are more than what they offer to AFS. No matter what their title, we know our team members have others in their life – volunteer, teacher, student, parent, athlete, artist — and we take the time to get to know them. Here, our employees aren’t just valued for “what they do” but for “who they are.”

Food, fun, and camaraderie at AFS

Throughout the year, from the hot days of summer and our annual picnic to the deep freeze of winter and our annual holiday luncheon, AFS sponsors picnics, seasonal celebrations, food trucks, and contests to add a little fun and say thank you to the individuals that make up our industry-leading team.

Promoting a healthy lifestyle and balance at AFS

We understand a healthy lifestyle resonates throughout our employees lives, at work and at home. That’s why AFS sponsors and supports a number of health and wellness programs, including weekly lunchtime exercise classes, end-of-day yoga, monthly Health and Wellness seminars, weight loss challenges, and the AFS Wellworks Portal, which is not only a valuable resource but provides the opportunity for employees to earn rewards for adopting healthy habits.

Supporting Employee Growth

AFS is committed to finding the most knowledgeable and experience technical and financial professionals to find solutions to our clients’ challenges – today and tomorrow. And our commitment doesn’t end at hiring. We encourage our employees to continue to grow in skills and knowledge that will benefit our clients with a generous Continuing Education and Tuition Reimbursement Program. We know that by helping all AFS Team members to further their self-development, we ensure that AFS will continue to revolutionize the Commercial lending industry.
