Employee Benefits:

We offer a competitive benefits package that includes generous paid time off, performance bonuses, retirement plan, paid family leave, comprehensive health insurance, stipends for professional development and community involvement. We want every team member to operate at their best, so we give all employees a premium Apple laptop, as well as the flexibility to structure your day in a way that allows you to be most productive. That translates to unlimited day-to-day flexibility to adjust your schedule for doctor’s appointments, errands, mental health days and more without needing to tap into your PTO bucket. 

We want you to take additional paid time off, just for yourself, throughout the year and your manager will work with you to ensure that formal PTO is baked into your plans. Employees with 1-3 years of consecutive service will have 18 days of additional PTO; employees with 3-5 years of consecutive service will have 25 days; and employees with 5 or more years of consecutive service will have unlimited PTO. The number of PTO days available during a person’s first year of employment will be negotiated during the hiring process and depend on factors including hire date, seniority, etc. 

We offer competitive POS health insurance coverage and we pick up the tab for 100% of employees’ premiums. Dental and vision insurance are also offered. We also offer a 401k with a 5% match, profit sharing and 12 weeks of paid family leave.

Every employee has a hand in crafting their unique professional development plan, which is intentionally designed to maximize the skills and aspirations of every employee, at every level. We provide the tools and training to propel our team forward.
