People First
STOBER values employees as people first—your family, friends, hobbies, and personal values are supported and encouraged. While you’re at work, you’re in the company of a positive, uplifting team of individuals who strive to exceed and celebrate common goals.
The challenging, rewarding work will leave you empowered and inspired, especially when paired with investment in personal growth and excellent benefits, including free health insurance, tuition reimbursement, and generous paid time off.
TALENT DEVELOPMENT
We believe employee development is the most important aspect of our business, and that our various development programs are a major determining factor in our current and future success. “People development” is one of our fundamental business initiatives, even more important than product development, technology, etc. Families, communities and schools develop people to a certain point. Once someone is employed at STOBER, we are very intentional about continuing their personal development.
Professional Development Programs:
- Pre-apprenticeship
- Apprenticeship
- Co-ops
- Mentorship/Shadowing
- Tuition Reimbursement
Our development stretches beyond just apprenticeships. We offer tuition reimbursement for all employees so they can further their education. We also have a wellness program which encompasses both financial wellness and health wellness. Insurance at STOBER is completely free to employees. Classes have been offered to employees on dieting, exercise, and quitting smoking. STOBER has offered financial education programs, including Pete the Planner.
