Pros
I worked in the insurance division of AIFS for close to 7 years in a remote position. I seriously could not have asked for a better company or corporate culture. I felt supported throughout my entire time there without ever feeling micro-managed. When I saw my team during meetings and conferences, it felt like I was seeing old friends.
The company goes out of its way to show how much it values its people. Each year, they host a year-end party and give out service awards based on how long someone has worked there. I was always amazed at the long list of people who stay for 5, 10, 15, and 20 + years. They also give out random gifts (trips abroad, etc) after drawing names out of a hat. Plus, they never skimp on food or drinks at events (especially drinks -- bonus). Speaking of drinks, they have a state-of-the-art espresso machine in their common area lounge for anyone to access (additional bonus).
Now that I left to help my husband grow his business, I understand just how special AIFS is. The grass isn't greener where I am, unfortunately, but I am grateful for everything I learned and experienced while there.
If you want a company that values hard work, diversity, and creativity but knows how to let loose and have fun, AIFS is worth considering.
