Pros
AFL is very invested in the local community, donates to various good causes in the area, and encourages employees to volunteer by giving a day of PTO a year for that purpose. Many of the employees have had long tenures at the company and this gives the general company culture a friendly feeling. The tuition assistance benefit allows many employees to pursue MBA degrees or other professional development. The company is growing. The company has an on-site nurse practitioner where visits are free. The benefits team is extremely helpful. The company culture embraces work life balance and discourages practices like calling people in the middle of the night.
Cons
Engineering salaries at AFL are below industry standard in the area. Meaningful raises don’t happen without a title change. Title changes tend to take 6 months to a year. Adding salaried positions to any team takes 6 months to a year as it requires approval from the highest levels of the company.
