Do you consider yourself a creative thinker in the workplace or do you prefer to follow a predetermined set of rules?

"In the workplace, I naturally lean towards my preference of straightforward rules and expectations. From there, once I am comfortable in my knowledge base, I can start to think outside of the box. So - to answer your question - I would say I bring a healthy balance of both. I know that USAA has to follow rules and regulations, but I do believe there are areas where creativity can shine."

"I am most comfortable when my creativity is challenged. I like to think of new ways of working, and create alternate solutions to a variety of scenarios. With that said, I am more than capable of following a predetermined set of rules. I can appreciate and adhere to a healthy mixture of both at USAA, as I know that rules and regulations are important. It would be identifying areas where I could be creative and others where rules must absolutely be followed."
