If  you can commit to and live with the following principles, then you are  the type of person who will be successful and help our company thrive.  If you feel this level of engagement is not right for you or that you’re  not willing or able to participate with us at this level, we are not a  good fit for you. Our  expectation is that you will take the steps necessary to do what you  say you are going to do and be accountable for your actions. In other  words, live “Above the Line.”We  understand that not every person is ready for this level of  performance, and we appreciate the honesty of those who decide this is  not the right place for them. On the other hand, you would make an ideal  candidate to join our company if you are willing to commit to the  following Above the Line principles:

• Accountability: See It, Own It, Solve It, Do It
• Become part of the solution
• Respect for others and their feelings
• Act now!
• Ask the question: “What else can I do?”
• Ask the questions: “What coaching do you have for me?” and “What can I do better?”
• Personal ownership and pride
• Reject average
• Show others that you care

Coaching  teaches people how to improve their performance. Training teaches  people what to do. Culture teaches people how to treat each other. Most  of the employees we terminate are fired for a lousy attitude and a  cultural miss, not because they forgot the skills that got them hired in  the first place.

Employment is contingent upon successful completion and continued eligibility of all background checks required by the Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS).
