Three cool things:
- Provides a 5% match to employees’ mandatory contributions of 8% to their 401(k) plans. Since the state of Alaska opted out of Social Security in the 1970s, it matches employees’ approximately 7% deduction, and employees may also enroll in a deferred compensation plan.
- Offers 11 company-paid holidays, including locally observed holidays such as Seward’s Day and Alaska Day.
- Promotes fun through activities such as an annual summer picnic on a beach with employees’ families, participation in a tug-of-war at annual local Maritime Festival, and annual March Madness competition with winners’ names engraved on a trophy in the office. Also organizes hikes to take in the beauty of the state’s natural splendor.
Employees say:
- “The highly educated, professional, yet down-to-earth people who work at APFC are some of the brightest in the world at their craft, while also being very open and happy to help or talk with others about what they do and how they do it.”
- “A mission-driven organization that values input from all levels. Small teams are given sufficient autonomy to perform. Employees have opportunities to take on additional responsibility, grow and improve the organization.”
- “The work-life balance is outstanding, and the ability to work remotely provides flexibility that I appreciate. I am honored to work here, I truly believe the best of the best are employed here and my co-workers hold themselves to high standards.”
