Best Places to Work 2025: E.C. Barton & Co.

1 min read

Jonesboro | Employees: 768 | Industry: Retail

E.C. Barton & Co. has given “owning your work” a new meaning. The 100% employee-owned home improvement retailer provides “partners” — the company’s preferred term for employees — the opportunity to participate in its ESOP, giving everyone on staff a stake in the company’s success.

That shared investment also carries over into the company’s comprehensive health benefits, a package that goes beyond medical, vision and dental to include programs that waive cancer care deductibles, cut out-of-pocket expenses for medications and offer medical travel reimbursements.

Partner support also extends to life outside of work. E.C. Barton’s Partner Purchase Program entitles employees to discounted materials for personal projects, while the Partner Assistance Fund provides grants for employees facing financial hardship.

With a commitment to promote from within and resources available to employees to upskill, E.C. Barton has cultivated a culture of loyalty and growth in its 140 years.
