Pay & Benefits

At ESI, we know that pay and benefits are important considerations when making a career move.
Our generous compensation package meets or exceeds those in similar industries.

All ESI employees are treated equally and with respect. In addition to providing highly competitive starting salaries, ESI is committed to maintaining competitive salaries through:

  • Recognizing significant individual and team-related achievements
  • Conducting yearly performance-based reviews
  • Providing appropriate cost-of-living increases

Perks

From team-related happy-hours to corporate events such as Capitals/Nationals games, Company Picnics and Holiday Dinners, ESI regularly gathers to celebrate and foster a sense of camaraderie among the ESI team.

Continuing education is highly valued at ESI. That’s why you can qualify for up to $4000 in professional development reimbursement each year. Whether you’re working on your Master’s degree or keeping up with the lastest technology – or both! – if it’s career-related, we’ve got you covered!

Choosing health insurance is an important decision for you and your family. ESI offers four different medical plans, including an HSA. We also have dental and vision plans, so you can tailor coverage to meet your specific needs.

MEDICAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS

CareFirst medical insurance options include both regional HMO and national PPO plans with multiple levels to fit the varying needs of you and your eligible family members.

  • No referrals needed
  • $0 cost for preventive health care visits
  • One of the best prescription drug coverage plans in the industry
  • 24/7 nurse advice line, video visits, convenience care clinics and urgent care centers
  • A confidential part of your medical benefit includes optional one-on-one coaching and support programs. These programs can play a huge role in keeping you healthy or helping you manage your current health conditions, including help with things like healthier eating and stress management.

DENTAL 

CareFirst Dental insurance is a national PPO plan providing your family with routine preventative care and help towards the more expensive aspects of dental health.

VISION

CareFirst Vision coverage makes regular exams and the purchase of glasses and contacts simple and affordable.

HSA (Health Savings Account)

For those choosing the High Deductible Healthcare Plan, a Health Savings Account is available to set aside pre-tax dollars for your future healthcare needs. An HSA is like a retirement plan for your healthcare needs.

FSA Health Care

Health Care Flexible Spending Accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for qualified medical, dental, and vision expenses – those that are not covered by your health plan or anywhere else.

FSA Dependent Care

Flexible Spending Accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible dependent care expenses like child or adult daycare programs. You’ll save money while providing care for your family so that you can continue to work.

All employees are able to utilize a free, confidential Employee Assistance Program to help with many of life’s challenges. The EAP includes resources to get you started in meeting your mental wellness needs, relationship challenges, life events, financial counseling, and more. EAPs are the newest way employees feel supported at ESI.

Any unplanned incident that affects your ability to earn income is stressful. Our income insurance helps reduce that stress and gives you support when you need it most.

Group Term Basic Life Insurance is provided in the amount of 100% of your annual salary, up to $130K. ESI pays 100% of all premium costs.

AD&D
Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance is included as a part of your Basic Life Coverage. ESI pays 100% of all premium costs.

SHORT-TERM DISABILITY

VACATION

SICK AND SAFE

We all need time to recuperate when not feeling well. That’s why ESI provides 40 hours of annual sick leave (pro-rated for new employees). These 40 hours are front-loaded at the beginning of each year and up to 200 hours can be carried over at the end of each year.

JURY DUTY

ESI employees receive up to 5 days (40 hours) of paid time off for jury duty.

PARENTAL LEAVE

ESI offers paid parental leave for the first 10 missed workdays following the birth, adoption or placement of a foster child.

BEREAVEMENT

ESI offers from 1 to 3 days for bereavement leave in the event of the death of an immediate family member.

We encourage all our employees to plan for their financial future. By offering both pre-tax traditional 401(k) accounts and post-tax Roth 401(k) Safe Harbor accounts, and contributing a match up to 4% every pay period, ESI’s Retirement plan helps employees meet their goals.
