Over the course of my internship at LJA, I was able to work with so many incredible people and on several eye-opening projects. From project managers to graduate engineers, everyone was down-to-earth and helpful. Being my first internship, the group I worked with really set the standard for what a healthy office environment looks like. And I can truly say that this internship has been an incredible experience.

The LJA ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) is an employee-owner program that can help you generate wealth and provides employees with a stake in LJA’s success. Based on the success of LJA’s prior year, a contribution is made to the employee-owner’s ESOP account.
ach year, employees may have an increase in their ESOP account due to a change in value of LJA stock. Additionally, LJA’s ESOP plan vests at 20% each year, meaning after each year of service 20% of the funds are the employees and after five years of employment 100% of the funds are the employees. Months worked during an internship can count toward the ESOP vesting period.
A 401k match is an employer’s contribution, matching a portion of the funds the employee contributes. An ESOP contribution is 100% provided by LJA. LJA employee-owners do not need to contribute funds to the ESOP to get an employer contribution.
