Our culture goes way beyond the pizza party version that’s pushed by other companies. We invest in what matters — to build a company where people are valued, success is celebrated, and ownership is standard.

We put the tools for success in the hands of our employee-owners

As a 100% employee-owned company, our people have a vested interest in our success. And because their future financial security is directly tied to the company’s overall performance, it’s only right that they should be given the tools they need to control their destiny.

Training is an essential part of our culture here at ESS, and the opportunities are endless. From our high school internship programs to the custom curriculum offered through SAPP Academy, there are a number of ways to get ahead.
