Challenging assignments.  Opportunities to stretch and grow as a professional.  A collegial environment.  These are just a few of the qualities that consistently attract bright, talented professionals to Dix & Eaton – and why many of our people choose to spend meaningful portions of their careers here.  And they are some of the reasons a leading trade publication named us one of the nation’s “Best Midsize Agencies to Work For” a few years ago.

We’re always on the lookout for people with the skills, experience and demeanor that would make them a good fit with our culture.  If you’d like to submit your resume, please send it to our Human Resources director, Sarah Hihn, at shihn@dix-eaton.com.
