Careers at Ketchum & Walton Co.

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a trust that holds an employee’s shares of a company, making them partial or total owners of an organization. This business model completely changes the employee-owner relationship, providing a win-win scenario where everyone is vested in the company’s success.

The benefits of an ESOP can be life-changing, mainly in the form of wealth generated by the time you retire. On average, ESOP employees have $90,000 more in their retirement accounts compared to employees working in a traditional organizational structure.

Additionally, since the company’s success directly impacts employees financially, ESOP organizations benefit from increased engagement and productivity among their workforce, maximizing wealth opportunities for everyone involved. Ultimately, ESOP companies provide employees with much more control and decision-making power compared to the standard work environment because everyone is an owner.

That’s why at Ketchum & Walton Co. Co. we constantly communicate our value of Ownership Mindset and encourage employees daily to think like owners – simply because they are.

Becoming an owner is easy and requires little on your part to do so. Once you have worked for the company for six months and logged at least 1,000 hours in that current year, you will qualify to become an owner through our ESOP. Once you’re an owner, you can now earn yearly allocations of company stock.
