RIPTIDE is an Employee Owned Company
The Benefits of an Employee Owned Company
The RIPTIDE Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP, is a company-funded deferred compensation plan that provides stock ownership to RIPTDE employees. It also delivers a distinct benefit advantage over our competitors. As an employee, each individual has a vested interest in the current and future success of every day, of every deliverable, and of every contract that we perform. The ESOP provides DCS employees the chance to participate in the growth and success of the company.
The RIPTIDE ESOP provides a significant benefit to DCS employees, because as an ESOP company, DCS Corp’s value does not fluctuate based on a day-to-day stock price. Our annual stock valuation cycle allows management to make long-term decisions for the good of the company allowing employees to focus on their daily responsibilities while building long-term wealth.
DCS employees are eligible to receive benefits upon their retirement or departure from DCS Corp, based on a 6 year vesting schedule. We recognize that the most important and valuable asset to the financial success of the company is the employee, and the most appropriate way to reward our employees is through providing for their financial security.
