Why Stash?

We’re in the travel business, so travel is one of our perks. Stash employees can stay at some of the best independent hotels in the U.S. for next to nothing. Which is easy to do, since we have no set vacation policy. We hire responsible people who get the job done on time, so we don’t need to watch over them.

Our environment is casual and flexible — you’ll find us working from homes, coffee shops, and satellite offices around the U.S. Our comprehensive benefits include a competitive salary, health and disability insurance, and a 401(k) plan

We seek people who are autonomous, creative, super-smart, and fearless. And let’s not forget nice. We’re a close-knit group who love to see each other—and our partner hotels—succeed.
