Depending on their roles and preferences, many of our employees have the option to work out of one of our beautiful office spaces or to work flexibly within one of our core geographic regions. There are also regular opportunities for in‑person interaction. We also understand our staff have lives outside of work. We work hard and expect our colleagues to do the same, but we recognize that while a strong work ethic is supremely important, so also is maintaining a healthy life that does justice to other goods, including those of family, faith, and community. Competitive Compensation and Benefits We will pay competitive market rates and have a generous benefits package and holiday/PTO schedule that reflect our commitment to our employees and their families.
