First American Equipment Finance Named No. 22 on 2020 Best Small & Medium Workplaces List



Great Place to Work and Fortune honored First American Equipment Finance as No. 22 on the 2020 Best Small & Medium Workplaces list, marking the company’s fifth consecutive year on the list. The ranking is based on confidential survey feedback representing more than 189,000 employees working at businesses with fewer than 1,000 full time employees throughout the United States.

To determine the Best Small & Medium Workplaces, consulting firm Great Place to Work evaluated more than 60 elements of team members’ experiences on the job, including the extent to which employees trust leaders, the respect with which people are treated, the fairness of workplace decisions and how much camaraderie there is among the team.

“I’m proud of my colleagues for the exceptional culture they continue to build despite operating in a work-from-home environment,” Alan Sikora, CEO of First American, said. “This year has required us all to pivot to new ways of working, creative approaches to serving clients and new initiatives to support our community. The resilience, strength and positive spirit of my colleagues is remarkable.”

Over the past five years, First American’s new business volume has grown from $414.2 million in 2015 to $1.372 billion in 2019. During this time, the company created nearly 125 new positions at its Rochester, NY, headquarters.

“Best Workplaces like First American have built dynamic, flexible and transparent workplaces founded on trust,” Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work, said. “This gives companies on this list a powerful opportunity not just to do well for their people but also to do well for their businesses.”

Additionally, Fortune and Great Place to Work ranked First American as a Best Workplace for Millennials, a Best Workplace in Financial Services and Insurance, a Best Workplace in New York, Best for Women, Best for Giving Back and Best for Grads. Entrepreneur Magazine named First American a Top Company Culture and Selling Power Magazine named First American among the Best to Sell For. Best Companies Group named First American as the No. 1 Best Midsize Place to Work in New York in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
