About the employer

Off the clock there's hiking, sailing and local beaches, plus a bike path along the shores of Lake Champlain. Nearby Burlington offers outdoor shopping and restaurants, concerts, parades and many summer festivals — and one of the job's perks is access to free tickets for many of them.

Why Essex Junction & Northern Vermont?
Vermont in summer is postcard territory: green mountains, covered bridges, swimming holes, farmers’ markets and legendary ice cream (yes, the Ben & Jerry’s factory is nearby). Essex Junction sits right next to Burlington, a lively university town on Lake Champlain packed with cafés, live music, breweries and beaches. On your days off you can hike Camel’s Hump, paddle the lake, bike the Island Line Trail, or take a weekend trip to Montreal, Boston or New York City. And if you stay into fall, you’ll witness New England’s world-famous autumn foliage in full color.
