Culture
There are a couple of things you should really get to know about us here at Great Basin. One, we’re genuinely pretty nice folks. Two, we’re pretty darn good at our jobs. Three, we really like to help our members throughout their lives.
Here at Great Basin, you will find a unique company culture.
When hiring, we look for:
A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
An authentically positive, can-do attitude is not optional—it’s the first thing we look for among potential applicants.
DRIVE & ENGAGEMENT
We live by our service promises and doing more than expected and impressing someone is one of them. You will fit right in if you have initiative, drive and a desire to continuously grow and learn! This includes participating in the fun stuff – including celebrations outside of work, charity fundraisers, and being on committees with your fellow coworkers!
A HEART FOR SERVICE
We exist to serve our members, community and coworkers. Helping others with empathy, by walking in their shoes and seeing their perspective, is our passion and at the core of everything we do.
AN ABILITY TO THINK CRITICALLY AND ASK “WHY”
We look for flexible team members who constantly search for bigger and better ways to do things. Change is a natural part of life, and life at Great Basin is no exception!
DEPENDABILITY
It might seem obvious, but being at work is important! Our culture makes coming to work fun, but…we also know that life happens! For those emergencies that creep up on even the most dependable team member, Great Basin offers an excellent paid sick leave and vacation policy which you’re eligible to take as soon as you hit 90 days of service!
What we are NOT:
YOUR TYPICAL 9-5
While you are here, you’ll feel a lot more like you’re with family than at your job. We thrive on helping our employees reach their full potential professionally without losing focus on personal development! We offer many advancement opportunities and we want to see you grow – and celebrate that!
STUFFY
We laugh. A lot. We are humble, honest and real people. We are inclusive and diverse. Our brand is a bit quirky – and frankly so are we.
UNAPPROACHABLE CORPORATE SNOBS
We live by an open-door policy. Need to talk to someone on our leadership team? They are only a call, Skype, or a few footsteps away. How about our CEO? Stop by her office—she LOVES to talk! We are a flexible team that will talk through problems and find ways we CAN do something.
AVERAGE
We don’t do average. There is a reason that almost 34% of the staff has been here over 10 years! We LOVE our members, we LOVE our community and we LOVE our team. We set high expectations and we thrive on crushing our goals.
