Casconauts take care of Casconauts. Casco is a high-intensity endurance sports team. To achieve peak performance, Casconauts must be taken care of. These benefits are a reflection of what Casconauts value (when we were ~10 people). We plan to update our benefits from time-to-time, so feel free to suggest new ideas to the founders. Unless a benefit says otherwise, benefits are available from Day 1.
1. Best-in-class Health Insurance
Health insurance is provided through Prescience. The Casco x Prescience plan is a PPO with Platinum+ benefits, an effective $0 deductible, a $1,000 individual out-of-pocket maximum, and no co-insurance. Casco covers 100% of monthly premiums for employees and their spouses/dependents.
Coverage starts on the 1st of the month following your start date. This is unfortunately a restriction from the underlying healthcare providers.
The plan is HSA eligible, which gives Casconauts access to a triple tax advantaged account where savings can grow tax free. Modern medications, including GLP-1s, are covered for all medical indications.
The underlying network is provided by Prescience and Blue Cross Blue Shield, giving Casconauts nationwide coverage plus additional providers for faster access. Casconauts also get access to Crystal, a care navigation assistant that can book appointments, discuss health concerns, and handle billing, so care does not require long phone calls or wait times.
As a special health benefit, Casconauts are eligible for a free Fitbit Air and can participate in blood and genetic testing wellness programs through Prescience Foresight. For more information, check your email for an invite to the Prescience platform. New employees receive an invite 24-48 hours after they are added to payroll. You can also contact Prescience at support@getprescience.com.
2. 401(k) Retirement Plan
Casconauts should feel excited about their future. That's why Casco offers 4% 401K match from Day 1 with immediate vesting.
3. Equipment Stipend ($1,000 annually)
Casconauts work the best when they have the right equiment. We give every employee $1,000 to purchase device accessories (monitors, headphones, keyboard, mice, trackpads) and work furnitures (desks, chairs). In Brex, you should find your dedicated "Equipment Card". Please attach receipts to every transaction.
4. Fitness + Wellness Stipend ($2,500 annually)
We want you to take care of your mental and physical health. High intensity can be stressful. Fitness and wellness can manage the stress. Use the "Fitness + Wellness Card" in Brex to spend on fitness plans (gym memberships, fitness app subscriptions, fitness classes), fitness equipments (workout gear, shoes, machines), and wellness activities (SPA, massages). Please attach receipts to every transaction.
5. Housekeeping Stipend ($3,000 annually)
When work gets intense, the last thing you want to worry about is keeping things in order at home. Most Casconauts have families to take care of. We want to make that easier for you. Use the "Housekeeping Card" in Brex to cover house cleaning expenses (recurring cleaning services, robot cleaners), laundry services, babysitting, and dogsitting expenses. Please attach receipts to every transaction.
6. Doordash Credit for On-calls
When on-call rotation requires your attention, don't forget to eat and drink! Every active primary on-call Casconaut receives a $50/day credit during their on-call period. Can be used 7 days/week. To use the credit, retrieve the dedicated on-call credit card from Brex. $50/day limit does not rollover to following days.
7. Phone plan reimbursement ($45 monthly)
We know you use your phone for work. Go to Brex and submit a reimbursement for your phone plan. We reimburse up to $45/mo. We recommend the Visible Pro plan for US-based employees. Truly, unthrottled, unlimited 5G and hotspot.
