The Perks of Being an Optimist

  • Hourly rate starts at $25/hour.

  • Full-time employees accrue up to 13 more days of paid time off (PTO) per year. Part-time employees accrue PTO at the same rate.

    We also provide one full month of paid family leave through Washington State Paid Family Leave, which can be extended with unpaid leave (approval required).

  • We offer paid sick leave of up to 6 days per year. It accrues as you work, and you are able to go into “sick leave debt” if you don’t have enough accrued yet, but you get sick.

  • All employees get 4 paid holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, and your birthday! (Optimism is normally open for business during many typical holidays, so we don’t offer many paid holidays.)

  • Health, dental, vision and life insurance with 100% the premium paid by the company for full-time staff (30+ hours/week).

  • All employees can participate in our retirement benefit program and we match up to 3% of your contribution.

  • Commuting expenses (e.g. mass transit, parking expenses, etc.) can easily be deducted pre-tax, so you do not have to pay tax on those expenses and so each paycheck is a bit larger.

  • Who doesn’t love a beer on the house?
