• 18 days of PTO accrued annually (more with seniority), plus thirteen paid holidays from the start.

In addition to helping our members achieve great things, we work to ensure that our employees are healthy and supported.

• Fun people in a dynamic space. We pride ourselves on finding driven and bright collaborators who are eager to lend their own unique skills to the team, as well as to our inspiring members. The number one reason CICers say they like working here is because of their colleagues!
