MRIGlobal was founded in 1944 as the not-for-profit Midwest Research Institute. Over the past 75 years, we have grown and developed into MRIGlobal, where we use science and technology to create solutions for a safer, healthier, more sustainable world. We’ve become one of the best places to work in Kansas City!
We are recruiting talent to join our team! If you’re looking for a career in Kansas City, consider what it means to work at a not-for-profit.
What is a not-for-profit?
Not-for-profit organizations are different from nonprofits. Basically, we’re not here to put money in the pockets of shareholders, but we’re not tax-exempt the way a nonprofit is. The money we earn goes back into our organization so we can continue making the world a healthier, safer place.
As a not-for-profit, our employees are paid before any revenue is invested into our mission.
Why choose to work at a not-for-profit?
The most important aspect for most people who choose working for a not-for-profit organization is being a part of a team with similar goals. When you work for a for-profit company there’s no getting around the fact that the top goal is profit. When you work at MRIGlobal, the top goal is creating solutions to make the world a better place.
It doesn’t hurt that not-for-profit organizations tend to pay slightly higher salaries than non-profit organizations! Without the focus of turning profits over to shareholders, not-for-profit organizations can put more toward employee total reward programs while still being able to invest heavily back into the goals they’re working for.
