Benefits

At Viox & Viox, we have worked hard to develop our own special culture.  We believe that happiness is not necessarily measured by your career success.  We stress a work-life balance that our team members appreciate and ultimately enhances their productivity.  As a 75-year-old, third generation, family owned firm, we know that families come first.

  • Community Outreach: Get involved! We encourage community volunteerism.  Our team members are on food pantry boards, school PTA’s, church councils, and city/county government committees. 
  • Family Atmosphere: We treat each other like family because we ARE a family. We know each other well.  We come together in good times and bad.  Our low staff turnover rate is evidence of the family culture that we have created.
  • Room to Grow: We are a small firm.  You will never be stuck doing one type of project here.  We expect everyone to pitch in on all types of projects. 
  • A Competitive Compensation & Benefits Package: Notice that we didn’t list this first? Obviously, your salary, insurance, and retirement plan are important to you.  It’s important to us too and we take it very seriously.  We do an annual review of our compensation packages and we feel like we are competitive within our industry and within the Greater Cincinnati region. But if you don’t fit our culture, then no amount of money will make this the job for you.
