Great Minds at Work:
A Community Where You Are Rewarded
WPI’s success is built on the employees who work here. Faculty and staff contribute to the university's culture of innovation and exploration, which help both our students and our employees thrive. Working in higher education offers a sense of potential and excitement, and our many long-term employees prove that it’s a fulfilling path. WPI employees are rewarded in a variety of ways for their commitment to WPI’s mission and the heartfelt dedication they give to our students.
We reward our employees’ dedication with a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, and life insurance; generous vacation time, sick days, and holidays; employer-matching retirement savings; tuition plans; and fun perks like free admission to the Worcester Art Museum. A week-long winter paid break gives employees time off to recharge without dipping into vacation time.

WPI's Generous Retirement Benefits
WPI's benefits package contains great perks and necessities for today, but you'll also receive excellent retirement benefits. After one year of service, employees must contribute 5% of their base salary to one of WPI's retirement plans every year. In return, WPI will contribute 9.5% of the employee's base salary annually to the employee's retirement fund. There is no vesting or waiting time for this benefit.
