Why Join M9

Working at M9

M9’s success is directly related to a sustained focus on our culture.

Positive change and growth has afforded employees the ability not only to grow their own professional careers, but to assist others to do the same. We’ve done it while managing to have a lot of fun along the way.

M9 is committed to the belief that every voice matters. All decisions are discussed, validated, and agreed upon in a round-table style. Ideas are gathered through weekly polls, surveys, video calls, quarterly meetings, and votes. We ask the questions, welcome the suggestions, LISTEN, and ACT.

M9 gives our employees a platform to be heard because we firmly believe in the talent of the people we hire, and the knowledge that the “best idea wins” creates a positive working environment where everyone feels motivated to bring their best ideas forward.

We look for new team members who enjoy working hard, come from diverse backgrounds, display a forward-thinking mindset, and appreciate that while they may not have the winning opinion every time, they will be heard. 

We took a holistic approach to our Core Values Program, seeking feedback from our Corporate team to add 2 additional values to create the final 9: Curiosity, Integrity, Humility, Work Ethic, Kindness, Competitiveness, Humor, Reliability, Respect. Our quarterly awards program celebrates the contributions of employees that support the missions and goals of our company and embody our 9 Core Values in their daily lives.

“M9 believes that great culture begins with our commitment to the belief that every voice matters, belief in the talent and expertise of the people we hire, and the knowledge that the “best idea wins”. This creates a positive working environment and also creates a healthy striving culture where everyone feels motivated to bring their best ideas forward.”

Positive Impact Award (PIA). The PIA is M9’s spot award program. Any employee can identify, nominate, and recognize their peers at any time throughout the year. The employee contribution must be for an action or accomplishment that is beyond the scope of the employee’s regular day-to-day activities and assignments and ties to one or more of M9’s corporate core values.

Years of Service Award. To celebrate all careers with M9, we recognize employees when they hit specific work anniversaries (1, 3, 5, 10, 15+ years of service) to honor the individual contributions of our employees over time.

Quarterly Awards:

Top Performer. The Top Performer award recognizes the accomplishments of our employees with a focus on work ethic, goal achievement, and total contribution to enable company growth. One individual each quarter is eligible to receive the award.

Person of the Quarter. The Person of the Quarter award recognizes one billable and one corporate employee for their overall contribution to M9. To be eligible for award, employees nominated must demonstrate how they embody the nine M9 Core Values in their daily lives. All employees are eligible for this award one time per year.

Annual Awards:

Volunteer of the Year. The Volunteer of the Year Award recognizes an employee who has gone above and beyond to volunteer their time and talent to make a positive impact on their community at large. For the purposes of this award, volunteering is defined as significant unpaid hours; contributed talents, energy and skills to help non-profit organizations in the community; and demonstration of exceptional commitment, service, creativity, cooperation, and leadership.

Rising Star of the Year. The Rising Star of the Year award recognizes an employee who has recently joined M9 and is on their way to becoming a star performer. All corporate individuals who are in their first year of employment with M9 and who have shown outstanding performance in their current position are eligible for the award.

M9’S FULTON AWARD

The Fulton Award is named in honor of M9 Founder and CEO, James McKee’s father, Mr. Robert Fulton McKee.

This annual award recognizes a single individual’s outstanding achievement and superb contribution to M9’s culture, team, and brand.
