Company Values • Humble – Driven – Solutions Oriented

Humble – Employees that are team players and are respectful of others and the job at hand. Great team players lack excessive ego or concerns about status. Humble employees are quick to point out contributions of others and slow to seek attention of their own.

Driven – Employees who are motivated and focused on self‑improvement. Driven or hungry employees are always looking for more. More things to do, learn, and take responsibility for. They never have to be pushed by a manager to work harder because they are self‑motivated and diligent.

Solutions Oriented – Employees who focus on solving, and preventing problems from occurring, not just identifying them. This is equal parts of problems with systems and processes and the common sense that an employee has about people. They are aware, act appropriately, ask good questions, and listen to understand.

• Attend relevant department and company‑wide meetings, including Level 10 meetings, contributing to organizational alignment and effectiveness.
