Lastar Culture

"We strive to create an environment where employees see Lastar as not just a job but as a lifestyle with great people who enjoy working together and are recognized for their success."
—Bill Diederich, Lastar President

We Never Stop Learning

It's the associates of Lastar that ensure we succeed, which is why investment in people is so critical. Lastar's development and training programs give associates the tools they need to shape their future with the company. Whether it is technical, product, functional, or leadership skills; tuition reimbursement; or involvement in local business organizations such as Toastmasters® or the American Marketing Association, Lastar provides its associates opportunities to get involved while developing the critical skills needed for career advancement.

We Recognize a Job Well Done

Lastar offers a challenging work environment, and we make a point to celebrate each of our successes—whether that's throwing a party for a record breaking month, our annual Leadership Circle trip, Employee of the Quarter program, or a simple kudos. Recognizing "above and beyond" efforts that drive our mission of providing an extraordinary customer experience is critical to the ongoing success of our mission. At Lastar, we like to work hard and celebrate the wins that hard work brings.

We Want to Make a Difference

Lastar's commitment to being good teammates and citizens is not just internal. We are also involved in the communities in which we work and live and drive to be a positive influence on those communities. Each facility decides which local causes to support and it truly becomes a team effort. Lastar community involvement includes:

• American Heart Association
• Welcome Home Soldier Memorial
• Moraine Meadows tutoring
• S.O.U.P. Program (Surprising Opportunities to Unite People)
• Juvenile Diabetes Foundation

By rallying together to support local organizations and charities, the Lastar team grows stronger, and shares in the satisfaction of making a difference.
