• 30 days off in your first year — real time to recharge

• Benefits that start within 30 days — no long wait periods. Medical, Dental, and Vision start on the 1st of the month after your hire date. Paid maternity and paternity leave after 90 days. 
• Retirement contributions you don’t have to chase — we invest in you automatically. 403B retirement plan up to 5%, the company contributes 3% regardless of an employee’s contribution.
