Why Should You Want to Work at Rapids?
When you are job hunting, a lot of emphasis is placed on making yourself appealing to the company, with very little importance placed on what the company can offer you. At Rapids, we want to make it easy for you to decide that you want to work here.
Employee Insurance
You will be able to choose from several different health insurance plans to find the one that works best for you and your family. Dental insurance is also available.
Paid Time Off
Work-life balance is an important part of a healthy, happy life. Rapids offers both vacation and sick leave, as well as paid holidays.
In many departments, flex time is also available, because we know that life doesn’t always happen on your schedule.
Innovation Opportunities
If you like enacting change in your workplace, Rapids is the place for you.
We’ve implemented an Innovation Inspires program that gives every employee – from the warehouse to accounting – the opportunity to share ideas and improve how we do things.
Industry Training
Rapids helps make it easy for you to stay up-to-date on the latest products. Training is regularly offered by many of our top vendors on the newest offerings. Oftentimes this also means FREE LUNCH!
Open Positions
We are looking for more amazing people to join our team. Help us improve our clients’ workspaces with groundbreaking kitchen design and implementation. Are you ready to make a difference?
