They’re the reason after 25 years we are still going strong.
They’re the reason we are able to help customers in five different countries.
They’re the reason Cash America has grown into a billion-dollar company.
They’re the reason we come to work every day.
Our coworkers.
It’s no secret that a key ingredient in a company’s success is its people. Even with all of today’s technologies that continue to outdo one another, there are certain things that cannot be left to the brains of a machine. While computers, smart phones and mobile tablets provide us with many beyond-belief possibilities, there is one thing that they lack.
Heart.
It’s one thing you’ll find in common amongst our 6,000 plus employees.
It’s the reason they remain committed to playing their part in the goal of the company, to provide goods and services to those in need of a helping hand.
It’s what drives them to lead by example and rally around the success of their peers.
It’s what motivates them to give back to the communities in which they live and work.
It’s essential to the camaraderie that flows deep within our organization.
Our coworkers are proud to be Cash Americans. And over the years, Cash America has created a unique environment for our coworkers and created a place where people enjoy working. And recently, we were given the opportunity to let the world know what we’ve known all along…Cash America is a great place to work.
Listed alongside companies like Frito-Lay North America, Microsoft Corp. and Chesapeake Energy, Cash America landed the 13th spot on the Dallas Fort Worth Top 100 Places to Work 2010 list published by the Dallas Morning News. And out to our west, Cash America’s SuperPawn was named as a 2010 “Best Place to Work” in Business Las Vegas.
Thank you, fellow coworkers, for making me want to come to work every day. I know that’s something you all could say to a fellow coworker, too.
