Employee Ownership
What Sets Cargas Apart
Launched in 1998, our employee ownership program allows any Cargas employee to become a direct shareholder.
Why Employee Ownership?
Our company purpose is shared success. Employee ownership supports our goal of building a rewarding, team-oriented workplace where our employees share in the financial success of our business. Our company vision is to be built-to-last. Employee ownership helps us remain viable for the long-term by allowing us to incrementally transition ownership to future generations.
What Employee Ownership Means for You
For our customers: Our employee-ownership program helps us attract and retain top talent and build a highly-motivated team. Because our employees have made a personal financial investment in our company, they are also personally invested in your success. Today, nearly 90% of our team members are Cargas shareholders.
For our employees: Employee ownership gives you a say in the company you work for. As an owner, you have the ability to weigh in on company decisions and influence our future direction and strategy.
A Certified Employee-Owned Business
Cargas is thrilled to partner with Certified EO, a national organization that has granted accreditation to almost 500 employee-owned companies.
Employee Testimonials
Being an employee-owner at Cargas gives me the feeling that I really matter in the organization—that I’m not just employee number 71. My ideas and opinions are taken seriously and discussed to see how they may be used to better the company. I also get satisfaction in knowing that everyone benefits from all the hard work, dedication, and loyalty shown by all employees here at Cargas. That, in turn, fosters even more hard work, dedication, and loyalty.
Owning stock in Cargas makes me feel like I’m part of something special, and it makes me an entrepreneur. My contributions make a difference, and I help control the destiny of our company.
Employee ownership is about investing yourself into the organization—more than just the monetary investment and return (which is important). It is about a deeper commitment to the organization. The organization becomes much more than just a job; you are a part of something larger. You invest dollars; you get a return of dollars. You invest yourself in the organization; you get a return of teamwork, achieving common goals, and being part of something larger than yourself.
