P’unk Avenue does good work for good people.
This simple concept has brought our team together - but there’s so much more that makes us stay.
Flexibility:
Go ahead and get some fresh air - it might help clear your mind. We’ll be here when you get back. We believe in treating employees with trust and respect. Whether you’re heading out for a doctor’s appointment or flexing your hours to leave early for vacation, we’re confident you’ll get your work done.
Work-life balance
Speaking of vacations, you might have more of those in your future. At P’unk Avenue, employees start at 15 days off per year and can work their way up to 25 - and because of our generous sick policy, you’ll be taking vacation when you actually want it, not when you’ve got a migraine. We also close on December 23rd and don’t reopen until January 2nd, so you can ring in the new year from wherever you see fit.
Purpose
When you do as much work for non-profits as we do, you attract a certain type of human to the team. Whether employees are sharing fundraising links, organizing outreach efforts or taking advantage of our Volunteer Fridays, we’re working to help make the world a little better right beside you.
Connection
P’unk Avenue doesn’t work without you. You’ll be invited to come to the table as a collaborator, personally and professionally. Lead a Lunch and Learn about your favorite hobby, join our book club or fitness group, smoke us all in a game of 90s R&B trivia - make yourself at home.
P’unk Avenue thrives on diversity and we’re constantly seeking ways to improve, see through new eyes, and make our team more like our city: a thriving, daring, deeply different yet deeply interwoven community. We can’t wait to hear what you’ll bring to the team and how you’ll forever change us.
