Quite a bit. We have an annual 7-10% bonus each year of profit sharing, plus they just implemented a $3 raise company wide last year. The benefits and pay are top notch, even for shop employees like me. I'm making 36.15 an hour with a fuckton of overtime and double time on Sundays if I work all 7 days in a week, which is the best salary I've ever made. My bills are cheap af, like ~300 per month after we split the mortgage and utilities 3 ways at home so pushing 80k+ after overtime is great for us as I'm doin home reno stuff and getting married soon.

The benefits and health insurance are great too, if there's anything beyond a copay then the company pays for it. It's basically similar to what I imagine socialized healthcare would be like. Pretty generous PTO policy too.

We're one of (if not the only) manufacturer of certain industrial electrical systems that can do what we do. Privately owned by one person.
