  • Vacations are encouraged with a bonus for taking 5 consecutive days. Employee referrals are bonused. Topstep offers a food and groceries budget and contributes towards health and wellness.

New Hire Base Salary Range
  • $27.88 - $33.65 hourly.
  • Bonus: This position is eligible for a performance-based bonus as provided by the plan terms and governing documents.
