Working at SGR SGR has a unique culture where team members are encouraged to discover their true talents and use them in ways that are both personally satisfying and organizationally valuable. We believe that when team members find the best possible work/life balance, we not only model our core values, but we create a working environment that is second to none. While SGR is a national company, we operate with just 21 employees, and a number of contract positions. Joining a small entrepreneurial company has a number of significant advantages over working for a larger corporation. Here are just a few reasons we think working at SGR is an optimal choice: 1.Great Opportunities SGR carefully evaluates who we hire to ensure that the skill set and personality is a good fit. Because each person is an integral part of the organization, team members are given a great deal of responsibility and ownership of their contributions. 2.Variety In a more structured environment, employees are primarily assigned their main tasks, without the chance to branch out and explore other areas. At SGR, our team members often get the opportunity to work in different segments of the organization to learn more about our business lines, and to grow and develop as an employee. 3.Innovation and Originality SGR is truly an innovative organization. We approach things in unique and original manners and we have a different perspective than most traditional companies. We embrace challenges and look for opportunities to approach problem solving in creative and new ways. 4.Recognition Individual accomplishments at larger corporations often go unnoticed. At SGR we believe in recognizing our team for their hard work and dedication and we celebrate individual achievements. It is not unusual for an SGR team member to receive a compliment from a customer or another co-worker and that accolade be immediately shared with the entire organization. In fact, it s the norm!

5 Working at SGR, continued 5.Servant Leadership SGR is committed to servant leadership. We believe hard work, caring, and dedication are characteristics we should model daily in our relationships with each other and our customers. We believe that our efforts can truly change the world and that it is important to give back to communities near and far. Each SGR team member receives a paid week off each year for ministry work. Team members embark on mission trips, work with community organizations, serve as camp counselors, teach vacation bible school, and perform other acts of service in line with our core values. 6.Friendship, Respect, and FUN! SGR team members enjoy strong friendships and share a mutual respect. We also like to have fun!
