You’ll also start with 16 days of paid time off per year to allow you to relax and recharge . . . employees receive additional annual paid days off based on tenure.
• We keep it fun! Whether you’re enjoying our summer baseball outing, unwinding during an employee happy hour or toasting your co-workers at our epic annual holiday party, you’ll see that we take having fun as seriously as helping our members succeed! The office vibe is business casual with flexible schedules along with freedom to work from home in bunny slippers if that’s your thing! We value mutual respect and laughter . . . we hate stiff formality. You’ll have regular access to Vistage executives—our CEO even buys everyone doughnuts several times a year to fuel his informal employee chats!
