Working at Aria Group

At Aria Group, you will have opportunities to explore every aspect of a project. As one of our core values, we celebrate a growth mindset and work to infuse the spirit of ‘Collaborative Coaching’ through our day-to-day behaviors, communications and ethos. By supporting the development of our talent, our craftspeople are well-rounded and empowered to push creative boundaries. It’s a collective win – for our employees and our clients.
With partnerships that span decades, Aria Group has also built a reputation for keeping an eye on what’s real—the client’s bottom line, being responsive when things change, and blending bold innovation with thoughtful clarity to deliver a successful project each time. We call this design that delivers and it has differentiated our architectural design firm from the start.
Benefits, Perks & Incentives
PTO & VTO day
Aria believes that creativity comes from taking time out of work to relax and unwind. We offer competitive PTO for employees at all levels.
Employees will also have one Volunteer Time Off (VTO) day each year giving them the opportunity to donate their time to a cause that is meaningful to them.
HOLIDAYS & floating holidays*
We observe six major holidays and offer two additional floating holidays. Floating holidays are offered to all employees who may opt to take a day off for a religious or cultural holiday that is not observed by the company holiday calendar.
A floating holiday can also be used adjacent to an observed holiday or taken to celebrate your birthday!
*Subject to employment terms and start date.
TELECOMMUTING
Employees can opt for a hybrid schedule to work remotely 1 to 2 days/week following a 90-day, in-office orientation period. The orientation period allows our new employees to meet team members, get a feel for our culture and to become comfortable with our collaborative workflow process. Hybrid schedules do hold certain expectations including effective, ongoing communication with project management and the flexibility to amend a desired hybrid schedule based on client or team meetings, as needed.
HEALTH INSURANCE & other benefit policies
Aria Group offers a robust collection of options including a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, HMO, High Deductible Plan, Vision/Dental plans (employee and dependent offerings), life insurance, short and long-term disability plans, a Medical and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), a Health Savings Account (HSA) as well as a pet insurance option for your furry friends. Staff will also have access to enroll in our Commuter Benefits Program. Details for all plans can be found in the benefit enrollment materials
INVESTMENT PLANNING
Employees can elect to participate in Aria Group’s 401(k) plan. Aria Group will match 50% of employee contributions up to 5% of your salary. Matching contributions vest over 6 years. Employees may also opt to contribute to a Roth 401(k).
PROFIT SHARING
A creative and talented workforce is vital to our ongoing innovation and success. And when employees are motivated and engaged with an organization’s vision, everyone wins. Under Aria Group’s discretion each year, profits are assessed and shared with our employees via their 401(k) account. Since our founding year in 1989, we have shared profits every year but two. Employer profit sharing contributions vest over 6 years.
PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
Every new employee will onboard with a mentor—a fellow colleague that is one or two experience levels above. This is a great resource for day-to-day questions and systems knowledge. Through our Collaborative Coaching model, employees are supported through an encouraging and meaningful work culture to build their talents and grow their multidisciplinary skill set.
