2. Lead With Speed - We believe in doing things quickly and not being afraid to take big chances. Moving fast and making bold moves is how we stay ahead.
3. Don’t Cut Corners - We don’t skimp on quality. We make sure to own our technologies, development, and operations so that the entire experience is the best it can be.
4. Create a Better Us - We’re always improving by keeping it simple, saying no to things that don’t help our customers, automating what we can, and spending our money wisely.
5. Follow The Golden Rule - We treat others how we would want to be treated, disagree and commit, and welcome feedback from anyone, anywhere in the company.
6. Grow, Be a Leader - We look for leaders at all levels and always put the customer and team above ourselves. We want to build a pro team of high-caliber players, with high accountability and trust across all individuals.
