The goal is to make each branch, and the company overall, the best possible place for employees to work and flourish. Employees are encouraged to make suggestions and their input is greatly appreciated and valued. We promote an environment that is "win-win" for everyone. Our environment is best described as one of "a relaxed hustle. That translates into us having fun, while working with a sense of urgency to meet customers' needs. We expect people to be self-motivated, needing little managing and supervision. A person needing close supervision will not do well in this environment. We will train and coach and always be there to help, if needed. Everyone is expected to hold themselves accountable to goals. In addition, team members will hold each other accountable. R.W. Scobie's culture of "Continuous Improvement" means we are always trying to get better, regardless of how good we are.
