More about the ESOP Retirement Benefit:
The company is 100% owned by the employees. We recognize that employees are our company's greatest asset and seeks to reward them through stock ownership. Each year active employees are gifted shares in the company to be added to their ESOP retirement account. The value of those shares grows as the company's stock value grows. The employees share in the future success of their company for all their hard work and dedication. An outside firm evaluates the company's stock value each year. To give you a feel for the value of this benefit, in 2020 the average ESOP share was worth an additional $2.92 per hour that was contributed into an employee's ESOP retirement account. The ESOP plan is subject to vesting and participation rules.

We will consider for employment all qualified Applicants, including those with Criminal Histories, in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable state and local laws, including the City of Los Angeles' Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance.
