Company OverviewFounded in 1998, LCI works to create genuine relationships with everyone we interact with. Our focus is to see clients as more than a business, but as real people with real struggles. We will be a resource to them through experience, creativity and scrappy problem solving. Our method is to open all paths, present all opportunities, and never close a door that could lead to potential success for our clients. LCI is founded on 7 Core Values. Everything that we do is funneled through the lens of these core values. Failure to embrace and represent these values in your work life will greatly limit your ability for advancement and may affect your longevity with the company as well. o Relationship (Principal Core Value): Building a genuine, empathic relationship with our clients and team members. It matters to us to understand what they go through so they know we truly care about them and their business. Guarding and building relationships in the office; not through peace and harmony, but vulnerability, honesty, and openness. o All In: Defining the company as your own, that you are responsible for the health and continuation of growth of LCI. No one else is responsible for it but you. o Initiative: Actively and intentionally analyzing and being attentive to the business’ health and operations. Being able to recognize the gaps and fill them, regardless if it’s emptying the trash, sweeping the floor, or answering a Request for Evidence. o Courage: Being willing to tell the client what they need to hear for their benefit, even if it’s uncomfortable. Choosing to step into situations that will not be comfortable for you, but must happen for the good of the company. Saying the unsaid to keep the relationships around you whole. o Scrappiness: Be resourceful. “No” is rarely the answer. Find a moral and legal remedy for every roadblock. Exhaust every option for success, even at the expense of your own energy. We CANNOT fail a client. o Lift Up & Speak Honestly: You are the guardian of this core value! We share the good freely--recognizing great work, celebrating our wins, passing along compliments, and giving credit where credit is due. We build trust through kind, honest, respectful, and constructive conversations, avoiding gossip, speculation, and side conversations that can create misunderstandings, hurt feelings, unnecessary drama, and undermine trust and solidarity in our team. o Fun: Work hard and play hard. Be a part of team gatherings and light-hearted moments. Don’t be a grump. Team Structure The H-2A Coordinator works collaboratively with Account Managers, the proofing team, company leadership, and other internal teams, including team members in Oklahoma. Although employees are responsible for their individual workloads, they are expected to support one another, share knowledge, and work together to resolve challenges.

We believe that everything is figureoutable. We encourage open communication and transparency, including promptly reporting mistakes or potential problems. This allows the team to address issues quickly, protect client interests, and learn from experience to prevent future problems. Application ProcessOnce we review your resume, our team will reach out to schedule an interview if we would like to move forward.The interview process may include multiple interviews and job shadowing.
