Why We Care About Women at Work

When searching for a new job, what do you look for? Manageable hours? Competitive salary? A company culture you vibe with?

Of course you do – everybody looks for these things. But the criteria for an ideal job – or even just a feasible job – is slightly more complicated for many women. Charged with the tasks of working AND raising a family, it can be extremely difficult to find a job that works. Many women have to hire extra help, and if that isn’t possible, they have to leave work altogether.

So what’s a lady to do? Well, we see two options: start your own business, or find a holy-grail-unicorn-type job that makes it possible to (prepare yourself for a terrible cliché) “have it all.” Here’s a spoiler alert: our long-term mission is to make female entrepreneurship more accessible and possible than ever. But before we can get there, we‘re starting with offering jobs that allow women to work and take care of their families. I guess you could call us the keepers of the holy grail.

Here are some things we offer:


Competitive pay that is well above the industry average – we believe that everyone deserves to be compensated well for the work that they do.

Family-friendly hours – work ends at 4 so that our employees can be home when their kids get back from school. Despite many requests from our lovely customers, we are also not open on the weekends to allow for family time.

Opportunities to move up – Promotions are common and at Vella, we love seeing our employees grow.

And guess what? We’re hiring! We’re looking for everything from housekeepers to managers to social media strategists, so if you’ve got talent, please reach out at our jobs page. We’d love to have you
