Flexibility
In addition to our belief that vacation time should be maximized, we offer core hours to all team members daily – giving the freedom to come in either early or late morning and working the hours that make sense for you. Summertime means ½ day Fridays from Memorial to Labor Day, and the ability to work from home a set number of days each month.
Snacks
The team that eats together, stays together. We stock our break area with healthy snacks from a food delivery service and stay hydrated (and caffeinated!) with coffee, tea, soda and good-old H2O.
Wellness
BLASTmedia is a lean, mean, PR machine. Want a personal trainer? We have a full-time trainer on staff for team members to use in our on-site gym, stocked with cardio, free weights and Nautilus machines. BLASTmedia covers gym and trainer fees.
Social
We can’t get enough of each other in the office, so after-work activities are aplenty. From team trivia nights to outings at the ballpark, and from gut-bomb pitch-ins to movie matinees, we bring the party wherever we go.
Benefits
Starting day one of employment, BLASTmedia offers significant health benefits, including medical, dental and vision, as well as 401K contribution with company match.
Training
We don’t value complacency. Continuing education is a priority and we provide each team member an annual stipend to be used for seminars, webinars and conferences of their choosing. In addition, you’ll be presented with Lunch & Learns, Think Tanks and opportunities for soft skills development through various personal development partners.
