What Makes Us Different?

Employee & Company Engagement

Our team's enthusiasm to engage with one another and within our communities is what drives our culture. This is also what has allowed us to be recognized as one of Inc. Magazine's Best Places to Work in America. We are extremely proud of the culture that we continue to foster and the long-lasting relationships our team members continue to build. We know that this is a direct result of our focus to attract, retain, and develop highly-skilled and well-rounded consultants.

Learning & Development Our biggest investment is in our people. Lodestar offers each member of our team with continuing education and both internal and external training to ensure that our team stays ahead of industry trends, develops and enhances their skills, maintains current certifications and licenses, and provides support for their career advancement.	Volunteer Opportunities Our shared core values have instilled in each of our employees the responsibility to give back in the communities where we operate and to assist those less fortunate. Lodestar provides Paid-Time-Off (PTO) each quarter to encourage every team member to give back. We love that our team embraces this benefit and makes meaningful contributions in their local communities.	Military & Veteran Support We are honored and grateful to the nearly 40% of our workforce who made the sacrifice to serve our country (including several who continue to serve today). We proudly hire veterans! Why? Because we recognize that military experience directly translates into a perfect culture fit for our fast-paced, multi-faceted, and customer-focused work environment. Veterans are a great asset to our company, and we ensure our culture, benefits, and our Lodestar 214 Network help them thrive with us.
Professional Organizations We are highly-engaged with organizations that provide an impact to our professional communities. And we take our roles as Corporate Advisory Partners, Advisors, Council Members, and Board Members seriously. We are excited to contribute our knowledge, donations, and time, to help propel our industry forward. Our involvement affords each of our team members the ability to learn from our peers and mentors, share, network, and contribute across multiple relevant professional organizations.	Team Building Our team-building events are an essential part of how we operate and stay connected. Although we are stay serious and focused for our clients, our team members embrace the opportunities to let loose, have fun, and hangout together.	Charitable Work Every year we challenge ourselves to seek new opportunities to serve. Our team members proudly commit their time and energy to organize, plan, and support numerous causes that impact us, our communities, and our nation. We are proud our team has raised (and company-matched) important funds to support causes such as mental health awareness, military veterans, under-privileged children and families, and the Wounded Warriors Foundation.
Mentorship A key part of our success is fostering the growth of our team. With highly-skilled and selfless team members, we have been fortunate to have a built a robust company culture that is focused on developing and nurturing our younger talent.	Annual Meeting As an entirely virtual company, our Annual Meeting is a highlight for many across our company. At employee-chosen destinations, our team has the opportunity to learn more about one another, hangout, socialize, and help us plan for the future!	Work & Life Balance A flexible work environment is essential in today's world. Lodestar has embraced and cultivated an atmosphere that encourages a healthy work-life balance (even prior to COVID). We firmly believe in the motto "Work to Live", not "Live to Work".
