Perks & Benefits

Fun Environment

At Roots Natural Kitchen, we take salads seriously – not ourselves. We set the tone for fun with flexible schedules, quarterly crew events, and employee-picked playlists. Our managers are hands-on, creating a workplace where crewmembers thrive.

Great Food

Our crew gets free food, every shift. Whether you work forty hours a week or fifteen, you’ve got a fresh Roots bowl (or Jefe or custom Pesto Caesar plus three, or anything else from the Roots menu) with your name on it. Come for your shift, stay for lunch.

Growth Opportunities

50% of our store managers started as crew, and our priority continues to be in our next generation of leaders. You’ll never go it alone. We’ll cheer you on, as far as you want to grow at Roots.

Time Off

We provide paid sick leave to every crewmember at time of hire. For our full-time crew, we also offer paid vacation and parental leave. We recognize seven national holidays, so you can count on the time off. We believe taking time to rest is good for Roots – and even better for you.

Insurance & Long-Term Savings

Our full-time crew is eligible for medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as LTD and life insurance at no additional cost. While you’re thinking long-term, tuck some savings aside in our 401(k) with a 50% match from our profit-share program.

More Ways to Earn

From tips to bonuses to profit-share payments, our crew earns way beyond base pay. We make more earnings accessible, with clear pay progression and expectations for growth and promotion. As we say: learn more, earn more.
