WE VALUE GROWTH & SECURITY
We offer the stability of a strong, sustainable organization paired with opportunities for growth and development.
Comprehensive benefits provide peace of mind, while continued learning and career support help employees thrive throughout their careers.
Employees at GROWMARK can retire confidently with our fully funded pension plan.
GROWMARK is proud to be among the 5% of corporations still offering a fully funded pension plan to new employees — at no cost to you. Once vested in the Plan, you have a guaranteed retirement income benefit that grows the longer you're with us. This is a benefit you cannot outlive. It’s a guaranteed payment made to you for the rest of your life in retirement.
We believe retirement is about more than covering basic expenses — it's about enjoying the next chapter of your life with confidence. Consider it GROWMARK's ultimate investment in you: we've got you covered.
We want you to have fun in retirement!
OUR BENEFITS
Your health matters. We offer full-time employees the total package including medical, dental, vision, wellness activities, and FSA and HSA options. Saving for your healthcare needs is critical, so we also offer an HSA match for contributing participants. Beyond standard employee benefits, GROWMARK employees have access to pet insurance, fitness perks, and an employee assistance program.
Through UnitedHealthcare, UMR Benefits creates and publishes the Machine-Readable Files on behalf of GROWMARK, Inc., retail divisions of GROWMARK, Inc., subsidiaries of GROWMARK, Inc., and participating Member Companies.
We want you and your family to have the coverage you need, when you need it.
Pension
Employees at GROWMARK can retire confidently with our fully funded pension plan. In exchange for years of service, employees receive a lifetime monthly benefit at retirement once vested – no strings attached. Our pension is designed to replace HALF of your income so you can rest easy in retirement! A fully funded pension is a rare and valuable benefit, offered by only a select few employers, providing you with guaranteed retirement security that most companies no longer provide.
401(k)
We understand you want to be well prepared for retirement and our 401(k) plan is the perfect vehicle to help you reach your retirement savings goals. GROWMARK offers a match through our 401(k) plan to help you save alongside our rich pension benefit. We want you to retire comfortably and are committed to helping you accomplish that goal!
Paid Time Off
Rest and rejuvenation are important. We offer a competitive paid-time off benefit, which starts at 3 weeks for new hires each year. Everyone needs a vacation!
Volunteer Time Off
We believe in giving back to our community. GROWMARK employees have 8 hours per year of Volunteer paid time off. You pick how you want to give back to your community!
Parental Leave
It’s a special time when a new child is added to the family and GROWMARK recognizes the extra time needed to bond a care for a new baby. We are thrilled to offer new parents 2 weeks of paid leave time off to spend with their new child.
*This is a stacked benefit in addition to any required disability leave
Flex Work Time
Employees have different schedules, and not everyone starts or ends work at the same time. With supervisor approval, employees may arrange flexible hours, hybrid work, or compressed workweeks to fit their schedules while meeting business needs (varies based on job responsibilities).
We believe in the importance of continued professional development as you grow and advance in both current and future roles. Our new employee onboarding program will help you hit the ground running, and all employees are encouraged to work with their supervisor to build and maintain an individual development plan. We also provide formal training opportunities for our employees, such as tuition assistance to continue your education, the opportunity to match with potential mentors, and development journeys based on your interests and aspirations. Professional development, employee engagement, and continuous learning are key components of a successful career.
The Training and Development at GROWMARK is focused on ensuring your success!
We believe feeling secure at work starts with trusting the organization you are building your career with. GROWMARK has been around since 1927, and for nearly 100 years, our organization has grown with a long-term mindset focused on stability and sustainability. That steady foundation allows employees to build careers with confidence, knowing they are supported by a financially strong organization.
GROWMARK offers the kind of stability that lets employees focus on building meaningful, long-term careers with confidence.
We want to reward employees for demonstrating key behaviors that drive organizational success. Some of these behaviors include leadership, outstanding customer service, promoting innovation, a job well done and so much more. If you’re recognized by a co-worker, you can pick a gift card of your choice! Employees can also be recognized for going above and beyond with exceptional performance or significant contributions to the business through a cash reward.
Compensation
GROWMARK’s competitive compensation package is performance-based, with performance evaluated annually based on personal and company performance. Our compensation packages are reviewed regularly and compared to external markets to ensure we are attracting the best talent!
Employee compensation is reviewed annually and benchmarked for competitiveness as compared to the relevant external market.
Compensation programs are performance-based, and the amount of pay linked to the company’s success varies based on an employee's role in the organization.
The mission of our trained professionals is to challenge our workforce to reach their fullest potential and continue to drive effective business results through life long learning.
Employee Development, Technology, Business Acumen, Sales, and Leadership are the core training programs offered and designed to focus on key business components for improving customer service, increasing efficiency, and building and retaining a workforce of skilled employees who strive towards excellence.

LOGISTICS
Building efficiency into the supply chain for delivering fuel and ag products is essential to resource stewardship. To improve efficiency, large volume product shipments are received in three strategically located warehouses. From there, products can be distributed to our customers on regular routes.
As of result of these efficiencies, our truck line transporting fuels, fertilizers & crop protection products have been recognized as a member of the EPA's SmartWay Transport Partnership program.
ENDURING COMMITMENTS
Though our System-wide impact is felt across our market area and beyond, our efforts are most meaningful at the local level, where communities directly benefit from our support.
The Enduring Commitments program was initiated to match GROWMARK Foundation funds with member cooperative contributions to leverage dollars for local initiatives.
