Water & Air is an employee-owned firm and employees receive company stock each year. Newer employees are fully vested after only three years. When an employee leaves or retires, that person's stock is redistributed to those remaining. This system fosters employee interest in the long-term success of the company and rewards those who remain with the company. The intent is to build a dedicated and involved team with diverse talents who measure success in both company-wide and personal terms.
