If you elect the Buy-Up Plan, Albert contributes the same dollar amount it would have contributed toward the Base Plan and you pay the difference. Dental and vision are also through Cigna, with Albert covering 90% of the employee premium and 50% of the dependent premium.
• Insurance concierge through Nava. Our insurance broker, Nava, will help you file claims, find doctors, and answer coverage questions.

• Paid parental leave. Twelve weeks of fully paid leave after one year of service.

• Pay that does not depend on your zip code. The same bands apply wherever you live, with raises tied to performance rather than tenure.
