Quick note on comp at Homebase: we are very data-driven in our compensation, and use multiple data sources to determine our market-based compensation for every role at the company. We update this twice a year. We target above average pay for similar sized venture-backed company. This certainly means that there will be companies that pay more, especially larger companies. But we strive to pay above "market" for similar opportunities and upside, and to be both fair and transparent in how we set compensation across the company.

Pros

Homebase is full of the most amazing people I have worked with in my career. Everyone is so lovely and just really interesting and smart. The organization is mission-driven so the work we are doing has a purpose. I was lucky enough to be promoted at Homebase reasonably quickly, showing how they are willing to recognize and reward hard work, dedication and talent. The executive team is extremely accessible. They are busy people but more than willing to have conversations with team members of all levels. They care about Homebase and the people who work here which is rare to find.

Cons

Things are not perfect. We have some growing pains as we scale. The benefits could be better, compensation could be more competitive. We need more structure and processes in many departments. We experience some burnout, which is typical at this start-up level. But, when you need time off, you can take it and fully disconnect and someone will cover you.

Pros

- Company's mission is focused on people and helping small businesses grow. - Top performers can pivot into roles by networking within the company. Getting in where you fit in is easy if the timing is right. - Everyone is an owner! Homebase offers equity to all employees. - Great medical, dental, and vision insurance + other perks. - Our CEO and executives offer transparency regarding funding, future runway, and success of Homebase. - Bi-annual performance reviews and opportunities for pay increases once per year - Dedicated to initiatives focused on DEI and keeping the teams connected via virtual & in-person events, happy hours, and offsites.

Cons

- Homebase moves fast and has opportunities to implement more structure. You have to have the ability to problem solve on your own and work with ambiguity to thrive here. - CX leadership and some executives are out of touch with their frontline worker's lifestyles and livelihoods. We must remember why we are building a tool to make work easier for hourly employees. We have many opportunities to look in the mirror and ensure we are supporting our hourly workers to thrive. - Homebase is not a remote-first company. If you are looking for remote positions, Homebase is not for you. - Salaries are average or slightly below market, but leadership offers transparency about their benchmarking philosophies, and top performers are rewarded.
