All eligible employees will be granted shares of company stock each year, allowing them to earn ownership over time through their continued service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOur employees are trusted and valued team members and we want them to benefit beyond their wages as they work together to help grow FSSI.

Our goal through this process was to ensure that anything we do long-term as owners helps our employees succeed long-term as well. We look forward to continuing to excel at meeting our clients\u2019 needs \u2013 with the entire FSSI team sharing in the rewards of success.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Jennifer Dietz &#8211; FSSI President and CEO<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the ESOP transition, FSSI was advised by Ambrose Advisors, a national investment banking firm specializing in employee-ownership transactions. Michael Harden, Senior Managing Director, stated, \u201cThe Dietz\u2019 goal was to secure a sustainable future for FSSI in a manner that would be highly beneficial to its managers, employees, customers, vendors and the community. Employee ownership, when done right, benefits all stakeholders and should be celebrated. It is a true win\/win transaction for all parties involved and we were pleased to be a part. We heartily congratulate FSSI and thank them for trusting Ambrose Advisors to manage this transition process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Ambrose Advisors<\/h3>\n\n\n<div
