Our Philosophy
At Sherpa, our mission is Exploration, and we believe in equipping our team for long-term success with benefits that match. In addition to employer-paid health insurance, life insurance, and retirement plans, we designed a tenure recognition program to promote continued exploration through learning and time away from work.
As outdoor enthusiasts, we also do gear giveaways for each employee beginning at year one. Each person is different and our benefits are designed to support a healthy and well-rounded life both in and
outside of Sherpa.
