COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PACKAGE
Retirement Plans include a Defined Benefit Pension Plan or a fully-vested 401(k)
with matching contributions and access to a Personal Financial Advisor.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Our products are 100% custom, which means each project is completely unique. With every order that comes through our door we encounter a new set of challenges. Boredom and monotony are simply not an option! Craftsmanship and creativity – from engineering to manufacturing to finishing – drive us and infuse a sense of pride into what we accomplish every day.
We work hard but that doesn’t mean we don’t have fun! We celebrate holidays together, have company lunches and informal barbecues on our wooded hiking trail, and celebrate safety milestones with pizza parties and monthly/quarterly cash drawings.

Employees are encouraged to use the half-mile Chadakoin Trail throughout the year to hike, bike, cross-country ski, snow shoe or have a picnic. The trail was built and is maintained by Hope’s employees and families who gather each spring for a fun workday with outdoor projects for all ages.
