We pride ourselves on our quality of work, relationship-oriented service (both internal and external), and our commitment to create a work environment that fosters trust, encouragement, respect, and continuous improvement.

But this is why we think our employees WANT to work here, and why we are not your average employer:

• We are committed to introducing new people to the industry.

• We are an employee-owned company. Our ESOP is one of the oldest and most established in central Ohio.
• We are committed to industry and community affairs. We believe that we have a responsibility to make our industry and community better, and our people are encouraged to be part of this, and they do participate.

• We are clearly perceived to be an industry leader.
