Description
Upside is a technology company that has built a digital marketplace connecting consumers with brick-and-mortar retailers, specifically those in the food and fuel sectors. It is a platform that empowers people to earn cash back on their everyday purchases, such as gas, groceries, and food, while helping businesses generate incremental profits. Upside accomplishes this through personalized, dynamic promotions that are specifically tailored to individual consumers, helping them decide where to shop based on value, rather than location alone. This has a positive effect on both consumers and retailers, as Upside doesn't make money unless both parties benefit.
Upside has expanded beyond its initial focus on gas stations and now includes grocery stores and restaurants in its network. With its commitment to sustainability, Upside allocates 1% of its revenue to support environmental initiatives, including carbon offsetting and food rescue efforts. The company has a strong track record of growth, having returned hundreds of millions of dollars in cash back to users and generated billions in incremental profits for its retail partners.
Flexibility
Upside offers employees the flexibility to work from their offices, fully remotely, or a hybrid mix of both depending on the position. This allows employees to choose a work environment that best suits their individual needs and preferences, fostering a more flexible and adaptable workplace.
Benefits
Upside offers its employees a comprehensive benefits package that includes stock options, generous health, vision, and dental insurance options, unlimited paid time off, and unlimited snacks, coffee, and stocked kitchens in its four main offices.
