There are 14 companies, called the Elite 14, that have made the list every year. ASI and Progressive, which is the majority owner of the ASI, are two of the 14.

When asked what makes ASI a top workplace, ASI’s president and CEO, John Auer, said, "It’s our phenomenal employees and their positive attitudes. Their feedback places ASI in the top five of our category on a continual basis. Even with our substantial growth, the team builds and preserves an amazing culture that makes our company a great place to work."

In 2013, ASI celebrated the opening of its new state-of-the-art headquarters in St. Petersburg. The 13-acre campus is equipped with several amenities for the employees to enjoy.
