Our Core Values

Courage

Our team upholds courageousness as a core value because it leads to positive business outcomes. Open and honest communication with colleagues, partners, and customers fosters trusting relationships. We encourage people to try new things with a sense of urgency and optimism, creating an environment of learning and growth. When we put ourselves “out there” by voicing our ideas, it demonstrates a commitment to the team and to the mission—and that culture is contagious.

Integrity

We are aware that our actions have consequences—whether intended or not—and we take care to always act with integrity. This means that we are honest, fair, and hold ourselves accountable for the work that we do and how we do it. We believe in listening to our employees with an open mind—no one in our company is too important to hear constructive feedback. Further, we maintain a work environment where every team member is treated with respect and compassion.

“After a career in the military and law enforcement, I wasn’t sure I’d ever find another place where the mission and the people mattered equally. Joining 9th Way Insignia changed that. What started as a role in HR became a chance to help shape a company—its culture, its heart, and its future. Here, I’ve grown as a leader by stepping into the unknown, leading with purpose, and learning from people who show up with grit, humility, and care. This isn’t just where I work—it’s where I found a new way to serve.”

“Throughout my 30-year career, I’ve heard countless companies say ‘people are our greatest asset’—but few mean it. At 9th Way Insignia, they do—they put people before profit, and it shows in every decision, relationship, and outcome.

My journey started with a recruiter who spoke passionately about the culture. I wasn’t sure if he was just a great salesman, but five years later, I know he was telling the truth. I’ve grown more here than anywhere else because 9th Way Insignia invests in its people.”

"Working at 9th Way Insignia has been truly transformational. The company offers exceptional growth opportunities, a family-first culture, and deeply meaningful work — a rare combination today. From day one, I felt valued and heard by leadership. I was initially hired as an engineer, and within a year, was promoted to a management role — not because I campaigned for it, but because leadership recognized my contributions. That is incredibly rare and speaks volumes about the culture. 9th Way Insignia isn’t just a great place to work — it’s a place where people are genuinely supported and careers can flourish."

"It’s an honor to be a 9th Way Insignia employee. In the summer of 2022, I joined the company as a college graduate. Over the following three years, I quickly grew from a Business Analyst into a Project Manager, an opportunity I’m incredibly grateful for. Throughout my time here, I’ve learned so much and gained knowledge and skills that have shaped my professional and personal growth. The company has invested in me through training opportunities, courses, and certifications that expanded my capabilities. What really sets the company apart is the culture of support that starts at the top and reaches every level. From leadership to my peers, everyone is encouraging, uplifting, and genuinely committed to helping me succeed. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside inspiring leaders and teammates. At 9th Way Insignia, when people say we’re like family, they genuinely mean it. I feel fortunate to be part of it!"
