Benefits

Why you want to work with us

• Work-life balance - It's a bit cliché, but we do want you to find balance and take time for yourself. Yes, this is a startup, but we care more about results than hours spent! Honestly, sometimes things get busy, but it shouldn't be the norm. We have lives outside of work, and we want you to as well. (all the founders have kids, so we know how that goes)
  
  
• Competitive compensation amp; benefits - We'll pay you a good amount, cover your health insurance, kit out your home office, make sure you take plenty of time off, and give you meaningful early stage equity so when BookOutdoors wins, you win!
  
  
• Amazing perks - We want you to use the thing you're building, so we'll give you "adventure bonuses" to travel outdoors. You'll also get parental leave for all parents, mandatory birthday holidays, reimbursements for meditation app (Headspace, Calm, etc) and gym/Peloton memberships, plenty of company surprises and swag, and more.
