Total Rewards

At McCarthy, you are an owner. Since becoming 100% employee owned in 2002, McCarthy's business performance, by any measure, has been nothing short of exceptional. We don't think it's a coincidence.

Total Rewards encompasses all of the things that our partners receive as a benefit of being employee owners.  Not just salary, not just insurance, but everything—culture, performance bonuses, paid time off, tuition reimbursement, retirement plans (up to 25% of your salary contributed to your retirement each year), medical and dental benefits and more.  All of these things help drive the outstanding performance we have accomplished. 

We believe that this complete package is truly unique not only to the construction industry, but industry in general.

Why Being an Employee-Owner is Important to You

Most adult Americans spend more of their waking hours at work than anywhere else. So the question is an obvious one-where would you rather work: at a place where you're viewed as a number or at a place where you're viewed, treated like and are an actual owner?

McCarthy has been 100% employee owned since 2002—and the benefits are many:

Personal Improvement/Engagement: Simply put, if you succeed, we all succeed. Every McCarthy employee is asked to improve everyday (and given the tools via training or technology to do so). At the same time, our employees are given wide latitude to develop best practices/lessons learned that can be used across the company.

Personal Finances: Being an owner employee gives you “skin in the game” through our ESOP—a retirement plan that supplements our 401(k) offering. It grows year-to-year based on the performance of the company (you become a member of the ESOP after one year of service). McCarthy contributes up to 25% of your base pay into retirement accounts-both ESOP and 401(k). Few companies in America come close to this.

A Culture Where Team and Family Mean Something

While the only true way to discover a company's culture is to experience it firsthand, we'll try to summarize the points we believe make us unique in American business.

Honesty above all. Our word truly is our bond, and the concepts of truth and integrity are alive and well at McCarthy.

Relationships are key. Whether it be with our own employees or our outside partners, the personal importance of relationship-building is critical.

A builder mentality. We're not paper pushers as so many of our national competitors have become. A passion for building and craftsmanship drives us to excellence.

Safety is our first priority. Because we're employee owned, there is nothing more important to us than helping to ensure that you return home safely to your loved ones each night.

Lofty goals. Our never-ending goal is to be the Best Builder in America. Period.

It's all about the team. Well-built buildings and companies aren't constructed by individuals. Almost a century and a half of experience tells us that the team approach works.

Giving Back. A More Personal Approach

McC-Heart-Hats-rd

Anybody can write a check to a charity. McCarthy's approach is more personal. The organizations and individuals who we support get not only our funding, but they also receive something even more precious-the time, attention and commitment to make a difference from our employees.

A large portion of McCarthy's corporate giving (under our Heart Hats program) is driven by requests from individual employees who have a personal interest (and a personal stake) in a cause. Just a few of the organizations we support include:
