Benefits/Compensation

• Salary - we compete. Ya gotta ask.
• Benefits - 401, medical, dental, etc. (on a lame web page, we'd say "yada yada yada". Oh. wait. ...)
• Equity -

  Members of "The Band" get a piece of "The Band."

  Equity is a very important part of the story here. As we all build the company, and we all share in the ownership.

• Fellow Band Members -- Hey we play together. We go after players. You need the chops to do the job. You need the chops to add your voice to the mix. Of course, in the mix, we already have some serious players -- but who do you want to play with? Maybe you want to learn the chops. Give us a shout. It's all good.
• Annoying Managers -- We've got 'em! (They are relentless -- one of them will read your resume -- but so will a Band Member, and that can trump an Annoying Manager ;-))
