Additionally, we provide life insurance, long-term and short-term disability coverage, and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance. Our benefits also include a 401(k) plan and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP)

The Employee Stock Ownership Plan, commonly known as an ESOP, is a retirement benefit for all employee-owners. Similar to a 401K, only better! The ESOP grants company stock to all eligible employee-owners and allocates the stocks into a trust account as part of their future retirement fund. The ESOP is a fantastic benefit because the employee-owners contribute zero dollars of their own money to the plan.
