Authentic Ownership
We own it- individually and collectively. We think and act like owners because we are.
In The Arena
We have a bias for action and meet challenges with grit. We’re not afraid to take risks or get our hands dirty.
Who Before What
We care- and we mean it! In every situation, we put people first. We win and lose as a team, focusing on each other’s success before our own.
Do The Right Thing
We do the right thing- even when it’s hard or counterintuitive. Because it’s the right thing to do. Period.
100-Year Mindset
We think on a generational scale. In every decision, we seek to add value to our customers, suppliers, team, and communities over the long term.
Beyond Just Benefits
We offer employee owners a very competitive benefits package that reflects our commitment to our people.
- 401k savings plan with company matching
- Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), an additional retirement benefit directly linked to the success of the company
- Opportunity for quarterly bonuses based on overall company performance
- A robust paid time-off plan
- Dynamic insurance options that support our employees' wellness: medical, dental, FSA accounts, and more
A Commitment to Our Community
We empower our employees to make an impact within the community. We donate to numerous local non-profits as a company but also set aside at least half of all of our giving for individual employees to direct towards the charities of their choice. We offer our employees one day of employer-sponsored time off to serve with a cause that they're passionate about.
