FORTUNE and Great Place to Work® have honored First American Equipment Finance as one of the 2021 Best Workplaces in New York (under 1,000 FTE). This is First American’s fifth time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at fifth place.  

The Best Workplaces in New York award is based on analysis of survey responses from more than 78,000 current employees in the New York State, tri-state and metro area. In that survey, 98% of First American’s employees said First American is a great place to work. This number is 39% higher than the average U.S. company.  

The Best Workplaces in New York list is highly competitive. Great Place to Work® selected the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were only considered if they are a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is. 

“I am grateful for my passionate colleagues who have made us a part of this recognition for the past 5 years,” said CEO, Alan Sikora. “I am proud of the culture they have created at our headquarters in western New York and appreciate their dedication to bettering our workplace and our local community.”  

Over the past five years, First American’s new business volume has grown substantially, from $414 million in 2015 to $1.48 billion in 2020. During this time, the company created over 100 new positions at its Rochester, NY headquarters. First American’s vision is to become the Best Company to Work For and the Best Company to Work With.  

Additionally, Fortune and Great Place to Work® ranked First American as a Best Workplace for Millennials, a Best Small & Medium Workplace, a Best Workplace in Financial Services & Insurance, Best for Women, Best for Giving Back and Best for Grads. Energage named First American the #2 Top Workplace in the USA (150-499 FTE) and #1 Top Workplace in Rochester (125-399 FTE) earlier this year. Entrepreneur Magazine named First American a Top Company Culture and Selling Power Magazine named First American among the Best to Sell For.
