Culture

Our associates often use terms such as “ethical/integrity” and “professional” when describing our organization. Our working environment is highly interdependent, with staff members functioning as a close-knit team. At the same time, individual initiative is encouraged and rewarded. Working for our organization affords a wonderful combination of freedom and teamwork, where people are supported for striking out into new territory. As part of our team, your future possibilities can be limitless. That is one reason why many of our most valuable staff members tend to have such long careers with us. In each of the past five years, we’ve never had more than 5 percent of our staff choose to leave the company.
