What We Offer:

As Encore, we are hyper-focused on developing a culture that thrives on success and is energized by the fact that we get to make people’s lives better and safer each day. We generously reward all those who contribute to our continued growth, and not all rewards are monetary. Here are just a few perks that a successful individual in this role can expect:

• Salary commensurate with experience with opportunity for a results-driven bonus based on personal output and effectiveness in role.
