- Do the Right Thing - You act with honesty and integrity, even when no one is watching.
- No Arrogance - We believe the best team members are humble, collaborative, and always willing to learn.

- Naturally upbeat, friendly, and easy to get along with
- Energized by helping people and building relationships
