Although you’ve no cause to be aware, I’m actually a permanent fixture on Careers Blog. Unfortunately, the title “grinning idiot in a helmet in the second-from-the-right picture on the bottom row, wearing a shirt that – yes – says, ‘GOT PORK?’” doesn’t carry much cache, so I’m pretty excited to have my speaking debut. By way of introduction, I’ve been a Homestead employee since graduating college – almost two years now – with a math degree. It’s not an exaggeration to say that every day at Homestead is exciting in its own unique way, and our little company has a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that supports personal and professional development while still being a metric ton of straight-up fun.

(there’s a paragraph that goes here, something about responsibility and professional development; you know, serious stuff)

And fun? We have that, sometimes. Moustache-growing competitions? Sundae Fridays? Foosball? Video Game Olympics? Parking lot cookouts? Coworkers who like each other enough to take part in all of the above, and more? There are eighty other leading questions I could ask, but there’s only so much space. Sappy though it may sound, Homestead is one big family, and everyone is encouraged to be themselves. When you can kick back and really connect with people who have more than one dimension, what’s not to love?

At Homestead, we abide by the “no jerks, no idiots” policy. If I had to add a second, it’d be the old standby, “work hard, play hard.” Because we can learn and make a difference, and still have time to tend our moustaches and eat sundaes, too.

Hi Everyone, Happy spring! Now is the perfect time to be job hunting! Many of you just finished school and are nervous about leaving school. Others may have always had the desire to learn more in their field. Just because you are done with your formal education does not mean your education has to stop. Not only do we encourage employees to challenge themselves and learn on the job but we also have a tuition reimbursement program. Many of our employees participate in this program by attending seminars and completing certificates in their field. You can also use this program to earn your undergrad or graduate degree. It is your chance to obtain real work experience while continuing to expand your knowledge.    

Regular full-time and part-time employees in good standing with Homestead/Intuit and working a minimum of 20 hours per week are eligible to participate in the Tuition Assistance Program. 

Therefore, I would like to encourage you to start thinking about what career path is right for you and how you can obtain it. As a participant myself, I can tell you first hand that we are dedicated to helping you achieve your ambitions.

Homestead will give you the tools you need and help you get there.
