Cook Solutions Group's culture is what makes our company special, so we decided to share it!
The We Make it Happen Culture.
Message from Craig Cook, Chief Experience Officer:
CSG is an amazing company filled with truly incredible individuals. Through growth, a pandemic, and industry changes, we have evolved. Change is inevitable and we embrace it, but there are certain basic values that will always make us great.
This might sound cliche, but CSG was built on relationships. From the very start the playbook was simple, do everything in our power to make our customer’s lives easier and provide the best service in the industry. We didn’t use the word experience; we just did what we thought was right. That mentality continues to be the recipe for our success.
The relationships that have grown from that approach have helped to fuel and guide our company. With the help of our customers, we have strived to stay ahead of the constantly changing game. We have been described as industry disruptors; we are ok with that, in fact we embrace it. We are not afraid to challenge the status quo in our efforts to provide the best solutions possible. The feedback and collaboration with our partners are what help navigate our investment in technology and our constant quest to find better and more innovative ways.
Internally we have the same values. Our people drive change through their feedback and bright ideas. We often discuss the inputs that drive the outputs. The processes that drive the CSG engine need to be constantly maintained and improved to find more efficient ways. These efficiencies are felt by our customers and employees in their overall experience.
Every company discusses their great culture. I have never experienced a culture like the one at CSG. It is real, it is organic, it is fun, and it is unique. There are countless events and programs that are focused on maintaining this as well as giving back to the community, but it is the bond and the mindset of our people that truly define CSG culture.
As I begin my new role at CSG, those are some the areas that I will be focusing on as we continue to drive change, lead the industry, and provide the very best customer and employee experiences.

Whether in the field, in the warehouse, or one of our offices, CSG employees are what makes our customers Think CSG First.
The dedication, honesty and transparency that each Cook employee exemplifies makes us proud to be leaders in the retail banking and security spaces.
We strive to create an environment where all CSG employees feel valued and are satisfied in their career. That’s why we’ve cultivated a casual, upbeat environment that enhances productivity, satisfaction and retention. We hear each other out, push each other to expand our skillsets, and take the time to appreciate each other’s efforts. We’re proud to have built a team that’s kept employees onboard for years, or even decades.
Our core values include:
- Customer Commitment: We develop relationships that make a positive difference in our customers’ lives and exceed expectations.
- Teamwork: We work together across our company, collaborating amongst our diverse departments and geographical regions to deliver unbelievable customer service.
- Integrity: We uphold the highest standards of integrity in all our actions. Treat customers and fellow coworkers like you’d want to be treated.
- Adaptability: We innovate and adapt well to change. In fact, we embrace it and encourage bright ideas.
- Giving Back: Volunteerism and mentoring are super important to us. We recognize and the importance of volunteering within our local communities.
Whether it’s a 4 O’clock Friday happy hour gathering, virtual team trivia, after hours jam session, or top deck bbq at the HQ, we work hard and play hard. Plus we are always looking for like minded people to join our team! Cheers!
We talk a lot about the products and technology that CSG continues to build to keep us ahead of the game, but at the end of the day, it is our people that make us great. Experience the culture.
On October 10th, CSG spent the day "Breaking out of Covid Fatigue" to celebrate teamwork and helping each other! Hosting BBQ's and games across our 12 state footprint!
