Ready to love your job?
Becker’s has been in business for 97 years. We learned a lot in those years. We know the happier our employees are, the happier our customers are. So, while we are helping educators build bright futures for their students, we are also building bright futures for our own people.
Wear your hoodie.
The Becker Family has been leading our company since our founding. Now, with the 4th generation in management, we continue to demonstrate a sense of belonging, and we believe in coaching our employees, whom we consider family, every step of the way.
We want everyone to grow with us. We let you be yourself and be your best self. We respect you, and we care. Wear what you want and express your individuality. We show we care in other ways too—competitive pay and comprehensive big-company employee benefits. We offer paid vacation days, paid holidays, and paid time off for volunteering for your favorite causes. We even remember to say thank you.
We’re kind of boring.
We’re kind of boring—but the good kind of boring. Customers remain with us for decades. Employees remain with us for decades. It’s rare we have a full-time opening, but we’re still growing and we’re becoming more sophisticated in our customer reach, so we’re hiring our own in-house photographer. Go Team Becker!
