AP Equipment Financing

I am completing an internship with AP Equipment Financing and wanted to share my personal experience working there. During my time with the company, I worked closely with the marketing team and collaborated with other departments as well.

My internship began in late June and ran through early December. From my perspective, the schedule was flexible enough to balance school, which made the experience manageable during the semester. Over the course of several months, I was able to work on a variety of projects such as trade show lead entry, blog content, social media posts, and email campaigns. I felt encouraged to take on new responsibilities and learn skills beyond what I initially expected from an internship.

What stood out to me most was the support I received. The marketing team took time to explain processes, answer questions, and provide guidance while still allowing me to work independently. The overall team dynamic felt professional but approachable, which made it easier to ask questions and grow in the role.

I also noticed that employees across the company were welcoming and willing to help. Whether through emails or virtual meetings, people were patient and took time to walk me through tasks. As an intern, this made me feel included and valued.

Overall, this internship was a positive learning experience and a strong introduction to a professional work environment. It helped set expectations for what I hope to find in future roles.


AP Equipment Finance has been the best job I’ve ever had. I’ve been with the company for almost 7 years, and during that time I’ve consistently felt supported, appreciated, and celebrated. It’s a fast-paced environment with plenty of work, but what makes it manageable—and even enjoyable—is the incredible internal team. Everyone works together to create efficiencies, share knowledge, and support each other. You’re never alone in tackling a challenge.

Leadership truly values its employees and recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong, positive culture. Wins are celebrated, and hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. If you’re looking for a company that encourages growth, fosters collaboration, and treats its people with respect, AP Equipment Finance is an outstanding choice.

I just passed the one-year mark working at AP and couldn't be happier with my move.  I have years in the automotive leasing industry and have always worked for a large company.  Because of this, I was apprehensive but hopeful about moving to a smaller one.  What I found was a culture that strives to invest in its employees and do what's right.  They live by their House Rules and truly care about people. The team I work with is dedicated and willing to jump in to help another.  Our goal is to make sure everyone succeeds.  From the CEO down to my team, I can reach out to anyone, which is not always the case at other companies.

The hardest part of the job was getting used to interactions from the executive team. They truly had an interest in my opinion and valued my experience. Having a culture that can pivot if the strategy isn't right says a lot about the leadership team.

If you're looking for a company that is open, honest, and makes decisions with integrity top of mind, AP is for you. 

Take heed on the amount of time you decide to dedicate to your job if you are hired at AP. One can spend 60 or more hours a week working as hard as they can, accomplish multiple feats in a year, work various jobs not in your job description that lead to burn out, bend over backward for execs and still be found to not be valuable enough. 
Between low pay, overwork, and managers who do not advocate for you when it matters the most, it would be best to just avoid obtaining a position here- especially in any operational department. Sales is the sole importance here to a point where those in operation position struggle significantly only to be pushed aside like they are nothing. They will pay sales an absurd amount but leave operations out on the curb. 
Please be careful if accepting a position here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
This company presents itself as having a strong, supportive culture, but the reality doesn’t match the image. Promises of new or better opportunities are made and then quietly walked back. Employees are often accused of situations that never occurred, and when you try to clarify or explain, you’re cut off before you can even speak. It creates an environment that feels dismissive, inconsistent, and far from the culture they claim to uphold.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
AP creates an environment that feels dismissive, inconsistent, and far from the culture they claim to uphold.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You work alone and they throw a lot of work on you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
ALWAYS BUSY. They give you a lot of work.

This is one of those companies that portrays themselves as having strong values, but has no actual care for their employees. The kind of company that has “pizza parties” and gives their employees pointless gifts for holidays instead of paying a bonus. It’s all about profit. I observed their tendency to let employees go after they had reached roughly a year in employment, presumably to avoid having to pay extra benefits and hire someone new for a lower salary. This was all at the expense of other team members who would have to pick up the slack in the meantime for no additional pay. They preached the importance of work/life balance while also penalizing employees for attempting to take sick time or regular pto. 

I've worked at AP for a little over a year and I am so grateful I was hired. This culture is so positive, caring, and so many people have gone out of their way to help me. The company truly cares about your career and where you want to go. The managers have so many conversations with you about what motivates you to help you achieve your goals. I feel valued and work means something when working for AP, you don’t go unnoticed for your hard work. 

In terms of benefits, it's truly fantastic. We have PTO, Bereavement leave, marriage leave, sick time and we are encouraged to take it. 401K match up to 3% and tuition reimbursement plans. We have company happy hours once a week and different departments do monthly events. Join our team! 

The first thing that stood out for me during my interview was that I felt absolutely comfortable being myself. I was given the sense of belonging and acceptance right away. I was made to feel that what I brought to the table would help the company grow, and it has. The company's lifeblood is using process and technology to improve productivity and eliminate some of the time-consuming and mundane tasks, freeing up more time for ideas and innovation. The culture at AP Financing promotes learning, curiosity, growth and leadership. 

AP Equipment Finance is an amazing company to work for. I have learned so much about myself and the industry in taking this position. The family culture, and transparency that the company upholds is by far the best I have ever encountered. AP truly wants everyone to be themselves and wants to help each employee grow to their highest potential. My position is fully remote, which AP has strived for perfection and ran with the technology to make this possible. We are an ever changing industry, but AP continues to put their employees and clients first. I'm grateful to work for such an amazing company. 

Accepting a job at AP Financing was one of THE BEST decisions I made for myself. A company unlike any other, great atmosphere, inclusive and all around caring of their employees. They have bent over backwards for employees and understand that things happen. Like any job, the workload can be a lot during busy season, but then slows down and gives time to catch up. If you need help, it's ALWAYS an email or phone call away. Everyone is happy, healthy and willing to help... teamwork like I've never experienced before! Absolutely recommended applying for a position here, they will not let you down!
