  • Full benefits: healthcare, vision, dental, HRA contributions
  • 401(k) / retirement planning benefits
  • Paid Holidays + generous PTO vacation schedule increasing with tenure
  • Paid sick days and work‑life balance support
  • Stable 8am–5pm schedule with flex hours, typically ~40–50 hrs/week
