WE ARE EMPLOYEE OWNED Lee Building Products is unique in many ways, however, being an employee-owned company is one of the most notable. In 2006, Lee Building Products implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which was an exciting transition for our traditional, family-owned company. For the first time in the company's history, it meant that every single employee would begin to benefit from the success of the company by becoming shareholders. Although there is a vesting period for our employees to be fully eligible to receive the benefits of the ESOP, every employee begins to participate in the first year they work more than a minimum amount of weeks under the plan setup. It is true that an ESOP most directly impacts employees by adding potential for a boost in retirement funds, but it also creates a positive impact on the customers we serve. Our employees (shareholders) are aware that their everyday decisions affect the company's share value from year to year. Every time an employee provides service to our customers that create a great experience, adds creativity to help launch an innovative new product, manufactures quality concrete masonry units, offers reliable training, and delivers on-time products and services, they create long-term loyal customers. These customer relationships built from trust and performance create the revenue needed to keep our company successful and therefore more valuable to its shareholders. That value, in turn, has spurred an environment of proactive, customer-focused teams across the Lee Building Products company. Becoming an ESOP was a large shift in the culture of Lee Building Products. However, it has challenged and pushed out teams to work more intelligently and efficiently. The team-building atmosphere it has created has pushed our company to new heights. This was and remains a major positive impact for our employees and therefore, our customers. We are excited about the future of Lee Building Products and anticipate even greater momentum and performance. Job Type: Full-time Benefits: * 401(k) * Dental insurance * Employee discount * Health insurance * Life insurance * Paid time off * Vision insurance Schedule: * Monday to Friday Work Location: On the road
