Reply #15: Winco is employee-owned [View All]

[Viva_La_Revolution]

WinCo Foods is proud to be employee owned…

We believe our employees should share in the success of our company in a tangible way. That’s why we created an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) more than 25 years ago. Participating in the ESOP program means employees are part owners of the company and benefit financially from a job well done. In this way, there is direct incentive for employees to work hard and take pride in what they do. Additionally, being employee owned means WinCo Foods is owned by members of the local community.
How our program works:

Each employee owner becomes a participant in this program after:
1. Working at least 500 hours in the first 6 months of employment
2. Reaching 19 years of age
3. Accumulating 1000 hours a year

I get 95% of our food there, family of 5+, $150 a week... and we eat very well.

I love Winco!
