CULTURETHE SEI WAY
A LOOK AT CULTURE FROM INSIDESERVICE EXPRESS, INC.
THERE ARE A FEW THINGS WE SHOULD CLEAR UP:
Service Express, Inc.is not a Chinese
delivery restaurant
Service Express, Inc.is not the name of the
local dry cleaner down the street
Service Express, Inc.is not an off-brand
version of thatpopular package
delivery and logistics company
before we dive in....
SERVICE EXPRESS, INC. IS SEI
& WE DO THINGSTHE SEI WAY
unique culture.THE SEI WAY IS HOW WE IDENTIFY OUR
heart
WE THINKCULTURE IS
THE OFA COMPANY.
SO LET’S WEAR OUR HEART ON OUR SLEEVE.
BEHOLD CULTURE:
THE SEI WAY
HOW ABOUT WE START WITH A VISION STATEMENT THAT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE SERVICE
BUT INSTEAD IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE US WHO
WE ARE!
we actually provide...
To work with ouremployees to help them
achieve theirpersonal, professional,
& financial goals.
AT SEI OUR VISION IS:
Find great people,help them grow their passion,treat them well & they will take care of each other and ourcustomers.
simply stated:
WE STARTED WITH TWO THINGS IN MIND
2. Worry about the rest later
1. Create a great place for people
to work
THINGS STARTED TO TAKE SHAPE WHEN WE DEFINED OUR VALUES
we value:Employees with goals so BIG they challenge us tobe better
“Failing Forward”(i.e. it is only amistake if you don’t learn from it!)
That there ismore to life than work
The individual strengths thatevery person brings to our team

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
WE VALUEOUR PEOPLE!
every day!
THEIR COMMITMENT MAKES US WHO WE ARE AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THEY ARE APPRECIATED
RESULTS-ORIENTED& PEOPLE-FOCUSED
so we found a way to be....
And while we have shared a lot ofwarm fuzzies so far, we think it is only fair to point out we believe what gets
measured gets done.
WE ADHERE TO STRICTPOLICES INCLUDING:
Consider our employees, customers, margins and growth in every decision we make - we call this our Four Core Objectives
Have “Big Hairy Audacious Goals” (BHAGs) that you will grow into, using our performance measurement system called SR5
Don’t do something a certain way because it is the way you have always done it
Serve our teammates and our employees withexcellence

enjoy the perks...We know how to sit back and
and we make sure ouremployees do, too!
BUT WE AREN’T ALLPOLICIES & BUSINESS.
THE PERKS OF WORKING FOR SEI:
LIFE ISN’T ONE SIZE FITS ALLWe want our employees to have work-life balance, they work with their manager to define what that means to them.
MOST BENEFITS START ON DAY 1Including medical, dental, 401K with company match and more
LET’S FACE IT, NOBODY WANTS TO WORK ON THEIR BIRTHDAY AND WE DON’T THINK OUR EMPLOYEES SHOULD HAVE TO!At SEI, we give our employees their birthday off so they can really have their cake and eat it too!
THE PERKS OF WORKING FOR SEI:
EVERYBODY NEEDS TIME TO REFRESH & REBOOT!Our new employees start with PTO in their bank and continue to accrue more each week!
GIVING BACK IS IMPORTANT TO US!We give our employees 16 additional hours of PTO each year to volunteer in their community.
GET PAID TO WORK OUT?SEI pays 50% of our employees gym membership!
Still, it doesn’t seem right to talk about culture without talking about where we are
today and where we aregoing in the future
Because what we know for sure is that passionate employees are the core of our business and part of their passion comes fromgiving them opportunities to grow their careers and achievetheir goals.
SHOW ME YOUR VISIONAND I WILL SHOW YOU
