Employee-Owned Companies Hiring Now

Looking for a job where you're not just an employee — you're an owner? Employee-owned companies across the country are actively hiring, and Commonwealth makes it easy to find them.

Why Employee-Owned Jobs Are Worth Seeking Out

The benefits of working at an employee-owned company go far beyond a paycheck. Employee-owners earn more, save more for retirement, and enjoy greater job security than workers at conventionally owned firms. ESOP participants retire with 2.5x more in savings, and employee-owned companies are four times less likely to lay off workers during downturns.

These aren't niche startups, either. Some of the largest and most respected companies in America are employee-owned: Publix, WinCo Foods, Burns & McDonnell, Houchens Industries, and hundreds more.

Industries Hiring Employee-Owners

Employee-owned companies operate in virtually every industry. Here's where we're seeing the most active hiring right now:

• Engineering & Construction: Firms like Burns & McDonnell and employee-owned contractors are constantly recruiting engineers, project managers, and skilled trades workers.
• Grocery & Retail: Publix, WinCo, and other employee-owned grocers hire across all store positions plus corporate roles in marketing, IT, supply chain, and finance.
