Our team is growing, come work with us!

CatLABS is hiring for the following FULL TIME, in-person positions at our warehouse in Boston, MA:

1. Front of House

What we want:

No prior experience needed (prior customer service experience is a plus)
A passion for photography and art (required!)

What we offer:

Starting pay is $16/hour, with scheduled pay reviews every 3–6 months as you complete our training program and take on more responsibility. We’re a growing company building out new leadership roles, and we like to grow our own: team members who show commitment and strong performance have a clear path into senior and leadership positions.
All training is provided while you are paid to learn
Flexible scheduling within a full-time week, and an amazing team to show you the ropes (we are open Mon–Fri, 9–5:30)
Over 30 days of paid time off annually, company retreats, and access to the most exciting analog photo gear in the world

All you need is enthusiasm to work with a small but growing team at a locally owned business, in a fast-paced, never-a-dull-moment, dynamic work environment where we rock out, talk photo, and do photo stuff all day long.

*This is not a photo lab position. This position is for our front of house, warehouse, retail, and sales operations.
