Add in the generous paid time off, holidays, compensated volunteer days, tuition reimbursement, summer hours, 401K matching and more, and PlayMonster is just about irresistible!

We even have “monster” job titles around here. Our CEO is known as the Chief PlayMonster, and other office employees have their own fun title, too! Try and guess who the Money Monster might be!

PlayMonster calls Beloit, Wisconsin home...and we love it here! Some of our neighbors are the top-rated private Beloit College, the minor league baseball team Beloit Snappers, a charming downtown area with a view of the Rock River, and seasonal events such as the farmer’s market and popular festivals. And Beloit is situated between Janesville, Wisconsin and Rockford, Illinois, and not too far for commuting from or visiting, Milwaukee, Madison and Chicago! It's a great place to live and work!
