The other big problem about having company values is that people might expect you to live up to them. I once took a job at company largely because I really liked their espoused "values" and "mission statement" and I "believed" in the same thing they claimed to believe in. Compared to the last place I worked it all sounded like a massive breath of fresh air.

Anyway didn't take me too long to realize that all those claimed values where just empty words and the new place was exactly like the old place, and that certainly wasn't good for my moral.
