Employees can choose from a variety of programs, including medical, dental, and vision insurance. We also offer group term and supplemental life and accident insurance, and short-term and long-term disability insurance.
Benefits start immediately upon hire. There is no waiting period.
Medical
Employees are given a choice of four medical plans so they can select an option that works best for them and their families. While each plan offers comprehensive coverage for most services, they differ by benefit levels, cost, and flexibility in the choice of providers and facilities. Prescription drug coverage is included when enrolled in any of the medical plans.
