Well, then you're our kind of people! If you're tired of the same old, same old, join our team, and make an impact with your name on it.

Our Values

We’re always looking for people who share the same beliefs that we do. And what’s a better way to explain our values are than a catchy acronym. To put it plainly, we give a S.H.I.T.

Solutions

We work together with clients and colleagues to find solutions to the problems they need to solve. Because, let’s face it. So many things can, and ultimately do, go wrong in video production. So, step up. Don’t whine about what went wrong. Spend that energy figuring out what to do. Plus, whining is annoying.

Humility

We put the needs of our colleagues and clients before our own. The fact is… we don’t make videos for robots, or vanity, or even cactuses… we make videos for other human beings. Humility is at the center of who we are and how we treat our clients. Simply put: no dicks allowed.

Initiative

When something needs improvement, we take the initiative and do it without asking. If you’re waiting for someone else to do something, odds are, it won’t happen. Look, we all have a shit ton going on. There are plenty of things we need to figure out. So, woman up and do something about it.

Trust

We earn trust, we don’t expect it. We earn it by finding solutions, engaging others with humility, and taking the initiative when opportunities present themselves. If you did the math, you’d see that all of the other values build up to establishing Trust. We believe that you build it by demonstrating our three other values. Yes. That was intentional. It’s also kinda convenient, you know… for spelling purposes.

Our Benefits

Employees have access to medical, dental, and vision insurance through Aetna and MetLife, as well as One Medical’s on-demand primary care services. For a more comprehensive wellness plan, employees also have access to Health Advocate’s personal health advocacy services. Base premiums are coverage by the company and include ancillary benefits – Long & Short Term Disability, Life Insurance, and Workers Compensations.

Employees enjoy time off for personal use, vacation, sick or for care of themselves or a loved one. PTO is accrued upon hire and will be earned at an annual rate of 15 days. Employees with service past three years will earn at the rate of 20 PTO days annually.

Let’s make getting to work easier. We provide free parking when spots are available at our Old Town Alexandria office. 522 also provides commuter credits that can be used for things like ride sharing, parking, and public transit.

We love our work, but we know that taking time off is necessary to maintain a healthy balance. Our PTO plan gives you the downtime you need when you need it. However, why stop there. The standard is to follow the 11 Federal Holidays. Only now, 522 will close the office for a full week between Christmas and New Year’s. And we are now treating your birthday as a holiday, too. We think your parents would agree.

Early bird? Night Owl? Whatever works best for you. We offer flex hours and work from home to support busy lives, big families, and your best brain time. We work eight-hour days (or more when needed), but we know that a little flexibility can make a big difference with your work-life balance.

Family is everything. And nothing beats becoming a new parent. That’s why new moms get up to 12 weeks of paid time off. And we don’t forget the dads either. They get up to 4 weeks paid time off to bond with the new family… and go on midnight diaper runs (we know the drill).
