PROUD to Be 100% EmpLoyee-Owned Small Business

Applied EarthWorks, Inc. (Æ) is proud to be an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) company. Our employee owners make us exceptional!

ESOPs are retirement plans that require no out-of-pocket contributions from employees and provide a way for all participants to share in the value generated by the business. Research shows ESOP companies have stronger employee engagement, recover faster from economic downturns, create greater local job security, and provide dramatically superior retirement savings than businesses with no ESOP.

Æ provides a total compensation package with a wide range of benefits and competitive compensation. We love to invest in the professional development of our staff, encouraging publications and outside research interests.

Eligibility for benefits is earned with length of service and includes paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and professional development time; 401(k); ESOP; plus health, dental, vision, and life insurance. Æ knows employee wellbeing includes mental, physical, and spiritual balance.

For employees working from home, we offer a stipend to off-set the cost of business use of your personal cell phone or home internet. Please contact Human Resources to learn more about the benefits in our total compensation package.
