The Perks of Working at PerkSpot

We’re a big platform, but still a small team.  That means we’re going to trust you with more responsibility than elsewhere, and invest in you more.  You’re going to grow – a lot.

You'll stand a little taller every time you walk into a Walgreens, Chipotle, or onto a Southwest Airlines flight, because you'll be playing a role in making those people love their jobs that much more. You'll get in the habit of getting excited to head to work every morning, because you know you'll be working in a place where you can actually get stuff done, surrounded by a group of people you're actually proud to be working with.

Yeah, you're also going to snag a few good deals for yourself, too.

We’re a team of forty people working out of our office in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. We dress how we like, boast an open time-off policy, stock a good beer selection, and we’re pretty obsessive about our coffee.  Most of all, we welcome good people with lots of energy and enthusiasm.

PerkSpot offers the full suite of benefits you’d expect from a profitable, established company, including health and dental insurance, 401(k), pre-tax transit benefits, and fully-funded disability coverage.  We have in-office bike storage and a shower on-site.

We hold weekly all-company get-togethers on Fridays where we learn from what went wrong and celebrate what went right. Every week at PerkSpot, we aim a little higher and get a little bit better than the previous week.
