Cascade Dafo is a manufacturing company that specializes in making ankle foot orthosis (AFO’s) for children with mobility challenges. We are proud to report our braces are the best in the industry; we are PROUDER to share that the reason we are the best is because of our team members. Cascade Dafo is a dedicated, caring, hardworking team of people that create, customize, and care for our patients from the moment an order arrives at our facility to long after our braces have been fit on a patient. We know our team members make us successful; therefore, we do our best to show our appreciation to them. Our benefit package includes:

• Competitive Wages: Our starting wage is $19.50/hour. We provide opportunities for growth by inviting our team members to apply to learn more jobs within our production departments. The more jobs you learn; the higher wage you can earn. We provide career path options and support you on your journey.
• Profit Sharing: Cascade team members are awarded profit sharing bonuses each quarter. By sharing in the profits, our team members feel a sense of ownership; they reap the benefits of their hard work. In 2025, profit sharing added an average of $1.80-$2.20 more per hour to our new team member’s compensation.
• Healthcare Benefits: We provide medical, dental, and vision insurance to our full-time team members. We offer a QHDHP with employer HSA contribution or a traditional PPO plan; with two different medical plans to choose from, our team members find a plan that best fits their needs. Because healthcare is so important, Cascade will share the cost of your family’s medical benefits with you.
• Time Off: We believe our teams need time off to spend with friends and family; we know team member engagement requires time off to refresh yourself.
