Main Street Hub

What they do: Their “do-it-for-you” marketing platform integrates social media, web, mobile and email marketing to help merchants get more customers and keep them coming back. 
 
Number of job listings: 4, which can be found here.
 
Coolest job listing: Social Media Community Manager
 
Coolest perk: Houndstooth coffee and beer on tap
 
Note from the boss: "The opportunity to contribute to something greater than yourself and work alongside some of the most talented, driven teammates around are a few of the best things about working at Main Street Hub. The Houndstooth coffee served by our own barista and Monday morning breakfast tacos don't hurt either. Our team loves to hang out together playing pool or ping pong, cracking into one of our kegs supplied with local Texas beer, and celebrating their success as top performers at beautiful resorts like the Four Seasons in Maui. 
 
When we ask someone why they want to work at Main Street Hub, we’re not looking for “I want to work at a startup”— we want to hear about his or her passion for our mission and our values. The person needs to fit with each of our values, be ready to work hard, welcome feedback, and have "wowed" people he or she has previously worked with. If you’re hard working, passionate about helping local businesses and inspired by our values, we want you. We’re growing fast!"
