Gorilla provides LTD coverage to you at no cost. Eligibility for long-term benefits is dependent on sickness or accidental injury for which you are receiving appropriate care.
LTD begins on day 91 after qualifying event, and benefit duration is until Social Security normal retirement age. Our plan pays 60% of pre-disability monthly earnings. Maximum benefit is $6,000 per month.
401(k)
As soon as you start at Gorilla, you’re eligible to participate in our 401(k). It’s a great way to begin a systematic program of tax-advantaged retirement savings with the added advantage of having a company contribution included.
We’ll match your savings dollar-for-dollar up to 3%, then match 50 cents on the dollar for the next 2%. This means if you contribute 5%, Gorilla will contribute 4%.

Gorilla Gives
We want to leave the world better than we found it. That’s why we’ve started Gorilla Gives – an ongoing program encouraging our team to get involved in the community. Commitments include:
- We partner with City Academy through a few initiatives, including their pen pal and mystery reader programs
- We celebrate birthdays by making a $76 donation on the employee’s behalf to a charity of their choice
- We have an increased corporate match for any employee serving on the board of a nonprofit (keep reading)
Corporate matching
Giving back and supporting your community, whatever and wherever it may be, is important. That’s why we have a corporate matching program in place. We’ll match up to $350 total per employee per year for donations made to officially registered 501(c)3s. If an employee is on the board of the nonprofit, we’ll match up to $760 total per employee per year.
Simply make your donation(s) and pass your receipt(s) to our business manager.
Professional development
As a company rooted in results and improvement, we want and expect our employees to grow in their time at Gorilla. That’s why we budget approximately $1,000 per employee, per year, for purposes of professional development. This may come in the form of training and online classes or in the form of a week-long conference. Regardless, it’s our expectation that employees will always be working to make themselves better.
As for books, our best and brightest have always been curious. That’s why we’ll buy any book for any employee at any time, provided they read the book and share at least one learning with the team. We’re all about growth at Gorilla; this is one more way we can foster that.
