Benefits

Burns & McDonnell offers employee-owners a comprehensive compensation package consisting of a competitive salary, performance-based year-end incentives, insurance programs, paid time off, 401(k) matching and free participation in our employee stock ownership plan. The plan is a tax-qualified employee benefit plan that turns employees into shareholders. This means our employee-owners are rewarded for their performance and share in the success of the company. They can participate directly in the firm’s profitability beginning their first day of employment at no cost. ESOP participation is free and automatic, but it’s more than just an added perk or benefit. Employee ownership is at the core of who we are and drives how we care for our employee-owners, communities and clients.
