About Americo
Back to top
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
Operations Implementation Coordinator
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.”

This opportunity was the perfect balance between working on things I showed an interest in and getting outside of my comfort zone by overcoming challenges. Although doing hands-on projects within my Department was valuable, what I appreciated most was getting the opportunity to learn with other young professionals about mentorship, personal branding, presenting with confidence, networking, and other relevant topics. As an intern, I felt like the entirety of the Company cared about me and wanted to see me succeed.”

“During my time at Americo, I really got a glimpse of how many possible career paths there are in the world.

The ability to impact other people’s lives with your hard work made this internship a fulfilling experience, and I would definitely recommend this internship to friends and other students.”

Your Path to a Successful Career
- Libbie, Policy Accounting Intern | Kansas State University
"This internship provided me with endless new opportunities and learning experiences. Each day brought on a new challenge that pushed me out of my comfort zone. Being able to launch a social media campaign and plan an event were a few of the many opportunities that helped me develop new skills to bring to my professional career one day. Americo is a summer I will never forget!"

Americo is a summer I will never forget! "
- Emersyn | Americo Marketing Intern | Kansas State University
“This was not my first internship but was by far the most engaging. I didn't feel like a typical intern that only did the grunt work, but felt like a full time employee. I enjoyed the people I worked with and the work I was doing. The intern program offered us interns a lot of opportunities to socialize with each other, meet executives, and grow as individuals. My favorite activity that we got to do was attending a Royals baseball game in a box suite!"
-Alan | Americo Business Intelligence and Integration Intern | Boston College
"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience as the Business Intelligence and Integrations Intern for Americo this summer. It was a great introduction to a part of IT that I was previously unexposed to, and it allowed me broaden my perspective on the tech field. Beyond the direct development of technical skills, this experience allowed me to grow professionally and foster great relations with the fellow interns."
