Company Overview
Our mission at CompostNow is to grow the composting movement by making it easy for our members to divert food waste and enrich soils. By hauling food scraps and delivering compost, we do the dirty work for them and ensure success. To build the movement, it is imperative to keep our members happy and ensure they’re receiving exceptional value from our commercial and residential services.
People work at CompostNow because we give people the benefit of the doubt, we strive for operational excellence, and we treat people as adults. We hold high expectations of ourselves and one another. We choose to grind through with the right people rather than have it easier with people who don’t share the same standards.
A quote from an Onsite Operations Team Member: “I would describe CompostNow's work culture as a pretty employee centered company, concerned and interested in the people that work for them. I think CompostNow puts a lot of effort into making people feel valued. The pay was very supportive as a living wage. The way that Managers make it clear that they always have time to hear what you want to say, it definitely goes down as one of the places that I’ve gotten to work at where the employer doesn’t just care about their bottom line, which was really nice."
This position may be a great fit if you enjoy getting up and at ‘em to start your day, if you already have an active lifestyle and value putting physical activity into your daily routine (get paid to workout instead of paying for a gym membership… what’s not to like?), and you get satisfaction seeing the physical progress of your daily accomplishments.
Pay starts at $18/hr and full time employees can qualify for health insurance after 90 days. Exceptional performers are eligible for a 5% raise at 1-year mark.
