One of the greatest benefits of working at CREtelligent is that you will find yourself surrounded by incredible and intelligent people with a shared mission. On top of it all, we deliver the benefits you’d expect and beyond including:

COMPENSATION

Hourly range of $20.00 - $30.00 (~$42,000 - $62,000 annually)

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

What’s important to you and your family is important to us.

  • We offer comprehensive extended health care coverage – medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, medical transportation plan, critical illness insurance, pet insurance, legal insurance, and more

  • 401k and Roth Retirement Plans with employer contribution – when we profit, you do too!

PAID TIME OFF

You will be part of our paid time off (PTO) program, giving you up to 12 paid days off during your first full year of employment. You will also enjoy additional time off during our 12 recognized paid company holidays. Very simply put – we work hard and play hard, so enjoy time off!

FUN

Off-site adventures, unique traditions, monthly birthday celebrations, Lunch and Learns, and a relaxed office environment. Show up and be your wonderful self.

FLEXIBILITY

Having the ability to adjust your work schedule to meet both the needs of your team and those of your personal life is just as important to us as it is to you. This means most days you’ll work an 8 to 5 schedule in the office with your team; however, we understand that you have a family and life where you’ll need some flexibility, and you’ll have that with us. In short, we hire you as a professional, and we’ll treat you like one.

FAMILY

We believe in supporting strong family units from day one – this starts with supporting parents with paid maternity and paternity leave. As the primary caregiver to a newborn, we provide 12 weeks of paid leave + another 4 weeks of part-time paid transition time to support your return. As the supporting caregiver, we provide 6 weeks of paid leave. As part of the CREtelligent team, your health and happiness are directly connected to that of your family – we get this and make it a priority.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH – VOLUNTEER TIME OFF

We provide all full-time employees with a half day of paid volunteer time – volunteering and supporting our local communities is so important that we put our money where our mouth is to support you in making a difference.

OFFICE FUEL

We’re an environment that cares about your well-being – we provide healthy (and fun) snacks, drinks, coffee, and the occasional doughnut to sweeten things up.

COMMUNICATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

  • To stay connected, we hold monthly all-team huddles and quarterly all-hands meetings to celebrate milestones, share updates, and welcome new hires.

  • Our managers hold regular employee one-on-one sessions to support your goal achievement and personal development. Frequent opportunities for professional development are provided, be it Lunch and Learns, webinars, or out-of-the-office events.

  • We are a growing firm with a national footprint ready to support your career advancement.
