At ESI, we reward hard work and excellence with competitive starting salaries and commitment to maintaining market-leading compensation.

This includes:

 

• Recognizing individual and team achievements that drive success.
• Rewarding growth and impact identified through annual performance reviews.
• Adjusting compensation for cost-of-living increases.

 

Beyond compensation, ESI offers a variety of perks to enhance your work-life integration and foster team spirit.

ESI values continuing education and supports employees in furthering their career goals. That’s why you can qualify for up to $4,000 in tax-free professional development reimbursement each year. Whether you’re working on a related Master’s degree or keeping up with the latest technology – or both – if it’s related to your work at ESI, we will invest in your career.

Choosing health insurance is an important decision for you and your family. ESI offers four different medical plans, including one that is paired with 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 needs of you and your eligible family members. Each plan includes:

• 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.
• 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 that provides your family with routine preventative care and assistance with the more expensive aspects of dental health.

VISION

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

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)

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

HEALTH CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA)

Health Care FSAs 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

This FSA type allows 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.

Through The Guardian, all employees can use 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.

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.

LIFE

Group Term Basic Life Insurance is available in the amount of 100% of your annual salary, up to $250K. ESI pays 100% of all premium costs. ESI also provides the option of adding on voluntary (or supplemental) life insurance up to $500K for yourself. You can add coverage for your spouse and children as well.

LONG-TERM DISABILITY

JURY DUTY

ESI employees receive up to 5 days (40 hours) of paid time off for jury duty. PARENTAL LEAVE (for Mothers and Fathers) ESI offers paid parental leave for the first 10 missed workdays following the birth, adoption, or placement of a foster child.
