We’re invested in our people
Since we opened our doors in 1985, we’ve worked to provide an environment that’s both challenging and nurturing – one that enables staff to continuously learn and apply what they’ve discovered.
employee stock ownership plan
We are proud to be an Employee-Owned Company! After 1 year of employment, you will begin earning shares in the company.
PAID TIME OFF
A healthy work-life balance is important. Employees are offered a generous amount of paid time off, which you will begin accruing immediately upon employment.
LICENSING & AIA MEMBERSHIP
So… you just became an Architect and now there are all these annual fees! Don’t worry, the company will pay for both your AIA membership dues and your license renewal fees.
EDUCATIONAL ALLOWANCE
We invest in the professional growth of our staff. Each year, employees are allotted $500 which can be used for any education purpose related to their professional growth.
PROFIT DISTRIBUTION
When the company does well, you do well! After 9 months of employment, employees are eligible for quarterly profit distributions. These are based on the profitability of the company. Make an extra 401(k) contribution or take the cash. Your choice!
MEDICAL & DENTAL INSURANCE
On your first day at Dietz, you will be immediately enrolled into our Health and Dental Insurance plan, a portion of each is paid by the company. Already have coverage? No worries! You will receive a bi-weekly stipend instead.
DISABILITY & LIFE INSURANCE
We cover our employees with fully paid Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Insurance, as well as up to $50,000 in Term Life Insurance.
401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN
After 1 month of employment, employees are eligible to enroll in a traditional tax-deferred or Roth 401(k) plan, or a combination of both! This is in addition to the retirement benefit you will be earning as part of the ESOP.
401(K) SAFE HARBOR CONTRIBUTION
After 1 year of employment, the company will begin contributing 3% of your income to your 401(k) plan. This contribution is guaranteed (safe) and will never be forfeited.
firm culture
Our core values center around inclusion and inter-staff connections. We strive to provide a work environment that encourages opportunities for mentorship and professional growth both in and out of the office!
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
We strongly believe in giving back to the communities that we serve, and we encourage our employees to participate. Each year, employees are allocated 5 paid hours to volunteer and engage with the community.
