A BETTER, MORE INCLUSIVE WORLD

Our employees speak for themselves.
CAREER ADVANCEMENT
We grow talent from within.
Tawni Regier joined Craft3 in 2010 as a temporary loan administrator. Her six-month position led to a permanent role on our consumer team. From there she initiated a move to our finance team, where her love of numbers and organization helped her excel and receive a promotion to direct our compliance team – her current position.
When asked how she has grown her career at Craft3, Tawni notes the organization's formal and informal mentorship programs as well as its commitment to professional development. But most beneficial she says has been, “the internal learning, from management above and laterally from peers. There's so much talent and people are always ready to help you learn."
VOLUNTEERISM
We are connected to communities and causes across Oregon and Washington.
When Jeff Baker joined Craft3 in 2017 after working as a manager at a bank, he was pleased to learn about our volunteer time off policy. Employees can take paid time off from their work week — up to 32 hours per year — to volunteer! Jeff currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Latino Community Association of Central Oregon, the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance, Mosaic Medical, and the Crook County Economic Development Corporation. He reflects: “Boards are a lot of work and sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough time. But for me, it’s work that matters and is satisfying because it lets me use my skills to serve my community.”
Other Craft3 employees have used their volunteer time off to assist with tax returns, maintain trails, distribute food, and participate in beach and neighborhood cleanups. Their dedication and energy are inspiring.
COLLABORATION
We work together.
In 2018, Chris Larson convened a team to overhaul Craft3’s loan origination and CRM systems, both of which we’d outgrown. The geographically dispersed team that included commercial lenders, consumer lenders, IT staff, and loan administrator got to work.
The project challenged, and significantly changed, many long-held data and loan origination practices. Success was due in large part to collaboration. Chris explains, “this was really a people project masquerading as an IT project,” and it couldn't have happened without a hard-working team that was given the time and resources to innovate and manage organizational change.
