About Americo

I love the continuous learning I experience in this profession. There are always doors to be opened and questions to be asked that promote internal growth. I continue to work with Americo because of the stability, security, and opportunities. I started during a pandemic, and everything was uncertain. I can safely say that Americo has continued to be a stable and secure pillar in my life, leaving only excitement for what is to come.

Thomas Baker New Business Representative II

My favorite part of my job as a Talent Acquisition Coordinator is being able to personalize onboarding. It can be overwhelming for new hires to have several tasks to complete before they even step foot in a new job. Serving as a point of contact to make sure they move through the process confidently makes me happy; I know I positively impact others in my role at Americo.

Jaileen Escalante Talent Acquisition Coordinator

Fostering talent and building relationships is my favorite part of my job. I get to know associates as people, which gives me a better feel for how I can help them with their professional growth. I actually left Americo to see what else was out there. But I came back after two years because the grass wasn’t really greener. My goal has always been to keep moving forward, and I have my own path ahead as I continue developing my skills as a leader.

- Megan, Policy Accounting Intern | University of Kansas

“Working for Americo allowed me to expand my professional horizons. I was able to do real work and see how what I was doing impacted my entire team. I would recommend an internship with Americo because they were not only concerned with the work I produced, but they spent a lot of time helping me develop as a young professional.”

- Max, Corporate Finance – Actuary Intern | University of Missouri

“While I really enjoyed the work I did, what I enjoyed the most were the people. Everyone I met was always so nice and willing to help. On my last day in the office, even people I hadn’t directly worked with came to my desk and thanked me for my efforts. It meant a lot knowing everyone cared and wanted me to succeed. The whole company cares and didn’t just look at me as an intern, but as a part of the team to further a goal. I felt like a valued member of the organization.”
