What believers are saying

  • Automatic ownership enrollment: employees enter the ESOP without a separate signup process.
  • Free driver training: employee-owners have access to a hands-on, 20-day CDL license program.
  • Family counseling support: the EAP covers employees and dependents, including financial planning and child or elder care assistance.

What critics are saying

  • Physical entry requirements: the current laborer role requires lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds.
  • Frequent travel: the saw operator role requires travel to project sites across ESS operating regions.
