Direct Agents Rotational Program

Interested in exploring a new city? During our rotational program, Direct Agents team members have the opportunity to spend a few days on a new coast. From in-person events to life outside the office, you’re able to immerse yourself in a new culture, while building connections with team members on another coast.

OUR HUBS

Our NYC Acceleration Hub is located in the heart of the Flatiron District. With customized breakout areas and a game area to reset and recharge, the Acceleration Hub is custom-built for collaboration and connection.

Our California office, located in Culver City, is steps away from shops, restaurants, and entertainment. From coffee and kombucha on tap, to beautiful California views, the space brings a wave of innovation and team building.
