We believe that great work starts with feeling supported, valued, and secure. Our benefits are designed to care for the whole person, from your health and financial future to your day-to-day balance and long-term growth. As a 100% employee-owned company, we invest deeply in our people because our success is shared by everyone who helps build it.
“There’s a reason so many employees have been here for years. It’s collaborative, supportive, and genuinely welcoming. People are always willing to help, share knowledge, and celebrate each other’s successes.”
Health & Wellness
Your health matters, and we make it easy to access high-quality care from day one. BETA offers comprehensive medical coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island, with both individual and family plans available. Coverage begins on your first day of employment, with no waiting period, and BETA pays a significant portion of the premium to keep costs manageable. For those who choose not to enroll, a monthly stipend is available.
To help cover out-of-pocket expenses, our medical plan includes a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), helping to offset deductible costs and providing additional peace of mind. Employees also have access to pre-tax savings through our Section 125 plan.
Vision coverage, also offered through Blue Cross Blue Shield, includes meaningful savings on exams, lenses, and frames, with BETA contributing toward the premium. Dental insurance is available through Delta Dental of Rhode Island, offering flexible individual and family coverage options to help maintain long-term oral health.
We also offer Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), including both medical and dependent care options, allowing employees to set aside pre-tax dollars for eligible expenses. With an annual rollover available on the medical FSA, you can plan with confidence and flexibility.
Insurance
BETA provides a strong foundation of financial protection for you and your family. All eligible employees receive company-paid life insurance equal to one times their annual salary, along with Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage. Additional voluntary life insurance options are available for those seeking extra coverage.
Long-term disability insurance is fully paid by BETA and provides income protection in the event of an extended illness or injury. Short-term disability coverage is also available, ensuring employees have access to support when they need it most.
Life & Work Balance
We understand that doing your best work also means having time to recharge and take care of life outside the office. BETA provides a generous paid time off package, including 8 paid holidays each year and 2 floating holidays for additional flexibility.
Vacation time is earned on an accrual basis and increases with tenure, rewarding long-term commitment. Employees also receive dedicated personal time each year, as well as excused absence time for illness, family care, appointments, or important life events. This time can be carried over and accumulated, offering a meaningful safety net when it’s needed most.
Saving for the Future
Planning for the future is a shared priority at BETA. Our 401(k) plan is available immediately upon hire, with both traditional and Roth options to fit your financial goals. BETA has historically provided a generous discretionary match, helping employees grow their retirement savings faster.
What truly sets BETA apart is our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). As a 100% employee-owned company, every eligible employee becomes an owner. This means you share directly in the company’s success through annual stock allocations at no cost to you. Over time, your ESOP account grows alongside BETA, creating a powerful, second retirement benefit that rewards your contributions and commitment.
Our ESOP reflects a simple philosophy: when employees have a stake in the company’s success, everyone thrives. The longer you’re part of BETA, the more meaningful that ownership becomes.
Professional Growth
We’re committed to helping our employees grow, both professionally and personally. BETA offers a tuition reimbursement program that supports continued learning and skill development in areas relevant to your role. With financial assistance provided both at the start and completion of approved coursework, employees are encouraged to invest in their future with confidence.
Beyond formal education, we support ongoing professional development through licensing, certifications, and industry engagement, ensuring our team continues to evolve alongside the work we do.
“BETA invests in its people. Through mentorship, training, and real project responsibility, I’ve been able to develop my skills and advance my career while working alongside experienced professionals who want to see me succeed.”
ESOP
BETA established its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2000 to support the company’s long-term success while providing employees with a meaningful retirement benefit.
As a 100% employee-owned firm, we believe that shared ownership fosters a strong sense of pride and accountability. When employees have a stake in the company, they are directly connected to its performance and success.
“Being part of an ESOP company gives you a different level of pride in your work. You’re not just contributing to a project—you’re contributing to something you own. Watching my ESOP grow over time has also made me feel more secure about my financial future.”
The ESOP is fully funded by BETA—no cost or investment is required from employees. Shares are allocated annually based on company performance and individual tenure, allowing your account to grow over time alongside the firm. This benefit works in tandem with our 401(k) and other offerings to strengthen your overall retirement plan.
By rewarding commitment and long-term contributions, the ESOP is designed to support your financial future. The longer you are part of BETA, the greater the potential value of your ESOP account—making it a powerful tool for building long-term wealth and retirement security.
