Culture & Values

We place our values "FIRST" in all we do.

Our corporate values define everything important to us –Financial security, Integrity, Respect, Service, and Teamwork. This isn't justa group of words, it's a focus and a feeling embedded deep within our DNA.

This focus drives our culture and creates an environment where each employee is challenged, supported, and rewarded. But we're not just about hard work.

We want employees to enjoy coming to work, to be part of an organization where people care about you, and to be in a place where you can do your best work while you learn and grow.

Embrace ACE!

Agility, Collaboration, and Engagement. ACE. It's what we strive for and it's what keeps us ahead of the game. ACE is the driver of decisions, actions, and ultimately the overall performance of American National. If you can look at an oppurtunity from a slightly different perspective, if you're better when you share and develop ideas with others, and if you want to be a part of something that makes you feel good, you're already embracing ACE!
