Best Place to Start My Career!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Highlights of working at AAPSA: leadership is approachable and helpful; initiative and motivation are embraced; the work environment is enriching and supportive. AAPSA provided all of the training I needed to be successful in my role, and then some. I have been given career counseling, advice about graduate school, and exposure to training above my professional level.
I am challenged every day to provide the best services possible, and feel supported through that learning process. The work day features variety and is fast paced. There is a lot to learn and many people to serve. I love what I do and always feel appreciated!

Workplace that actually cares about their employees
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My job is ensuring quality and policy/procedure compliance. I interact with most of the employees here. Any time I have a question about something or need to elevate an issue, management is always there to help. I love that management has really empowered me to do my job the way I feel is best. My last employer micro-managed everything in her department and it was very difficult to get anything accomplished. It is the exact opposite here. I love my work and the variety of it. The atmosphere is one of a kind. I feel like a valued employee and that management truly appreciates me and the work I do.

There is a very strong team atmosphere that I appreciate. I always feel supported and like my concerns and needs as an employee are being taken seriously. I would highly recommend it as a place to work and grow professionally.
