A little more about us
Our values
Our values have been pivotal guideposts throughout the journey. It’s our expectation that we each live up to and embody these standards in every interaction, every day…and in the immortal words of Montel Jordan, “This is how we do it.”
Lead with integrity
It’s a character thing. We operate on Nebraskan values: Be honest, do the right thing, take care of one another, have integrity, throw the bones. You know the drill.
Innovate like a boss
- Think critically and find creative solutions
- If there's no path, make one
- Continually learn and explore what you're curious about
- Pursue trainings on new techniques & technologies
- Seize every opportunity for improvement
People over technology
Do what you love (and love what you do)
It's important to us that each and every one of our team members lands in the right seat, doing whatever is at the intersection of what they enjoy and what they're great at. We're also big on company outings, Team Days, traditions, happy hours, you name it. Work hard, play hard!
Make an impact
This is a big one. Philanthropy. Generosity of time and talents. Offering a helping hand. Leaving everyone a little better than we found them. This is more than a program here; it’s a passion of ours to give back to the communities who have given us so much.
Be a grateful go-getter
As VP of Operations Will Zoucha says, it’s a subtle but powerful shift in perspective to look at the day ahead and say, “I don’t have to. I get to.” Game changer!
Deliver world-class customer service every time
We’re very proud to be known for our unrivaled customer service. We aim to treat each and every customer like our only customer. Always have, always will. Which leads us to…
Always go the extra mile
Above and beyond is the standard, whether in our work, for our customers, or for each other. Literally and figuratively, going the extra mile is one standard that truly sets us apart. Thing is, you never regret it.
Stay hungry
Grit. Curiosity. Coachability. We’re all in dogged pursuit of some ambitious goals—some shared, some personal—and we strive to get better every single day, which makes the future pretty exciting.
