  • Hear advice from leaders and mentors during brown bag lunch events

I can truly say that this internship has been an incredible experience.

You Drive Our Growth

LJA is a 100% Employee-Owned Company

All of our employees are employee-owners by way of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Our ESOP allows our employee-owners to directly benefit from the company’s success, through both company contributions into the ESOP and company stock value changes.

This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.
