Passionate about Where We Work
We did not set out to build a “culture” when we started The Prime Company… But after years of people telling us what a unique culture we have, we realized that simply by trying to be generous and do work the right way, we have built something truly unique. A place that values people, integrity, working hard, playing hard and eating together.
Most importantly, we are trying to live for something bigger than ourselves. We want to see Jesus’s name made great and are giving millions of dollars away to help spread the Gospel around the globe.
These deeply-rooted values influence every decision, every project, and every interaction with others. They are the reason we are so passionate about where we work.
Give to Grow
“Hearses don’t have trailer hitches, so labor for eternal things.”
Chris Elsey - Principal
Giving is at the core of The Prime Company ethos and impacts every aspect of our work. It drives us to press on when work is difficult. It brings us great joy when we see how our giving is affecting the lives of others. It is the reason we come to work each day.
Let Your “Yes” Be “Yes”
Honesty, integrity, openness – there are many ways to define it. Jesus said, “Let your yes be yes and your no be no.” We aspire to be above reproach in our interactions with each other, with our investors, with our clients, and our residents.
“If everybody did what they said they were going to do, my job would be a piece of cake.”
Luke Schooler - Project Manager
“Many companies are corrupted with a subconscious culture of selfishness disguised as ‘business as usual.’ Our goals are different. We value people, transparency, and servant leadership and the results are uncommon.”
Brad Buser – Principal at Prime Design
Family after Five
“I really value our commitment to healthy family life. That is a really unique perspective that is hard to find in this industry. Our company truly cares about their employees and their families.”
Trevor Gibbons - VP of Operations
We value family. We encourage all our employees to be at work when they are at work, and at home when they are at home. We offer unlimited vacation and take everyone and their families on vacation together once a year.
“My favorite thing about The Prime Company is the collaborative environment that allows for constant idea sharing and debate.”
Aaron Hunt – GM Prime Place Lincoln
Eat Together
There is something special about eating together that draws people to each other and creates a deeper bond. We invite our employees and their families to all eat lunch together on the company once a week.
“Sharing in a lot of meals together strengthens our personal bonds to those we work with every day, and it
definitely is a big part of our culture.”
Chris Chamberlin - Design Professional
Don’t Be Too Serious
“Our casual work environment allows people to wear gym shorts and flip flops on their first day of work… and for us to laugh about that for the next decade.”
Josh Adrian - VP of Development
Our culture is casual and laid back, while still maintaining vigorous effort and work. We embrace people who can laugh at themselves and whose egos are in check. We want to be people who can admit when they make a mistake and then laugh about it the next day.
