We Invest in Our Employees
Our communities have contributed to the success of our business and our families. In turn, this allows us to contribute to the success of our communities. We have remained an independent community institution over the years and employ almost 700 people. Our employees are like family (they’re also part owners). Not only is working for us rewarding, but you’ll also be a part of a positive culture and company that gives back to the community.
We strongly believe in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the organization and the community. We are committed to building a workforce with diverse backgrounds and experiences because allowing employees to bring their best selves to work is the right thing to do.
