401(k) & Profit Sharing

We’re fully invested in your future

We love having you here. We also love the idea of you eventually retiring and enjoying that leisurely lifestyle as a reward for all your hard work over the years. To help make your golden years even better, we offer a 25% match on anything you put into your 401(k) up to 6% of your eligible gross income, as well as a discretionary profit-sharing contribution to your 401(k) each year. Read on for full details on our retirement plan.
