Benefits

Employees choose from several medical coverage options. Prime offers one 100% employer covered health plan for employees and covers a generous amount of the cost of the other plans, making the monthly amount employees pay for medical coverage for themselves and their families competitively affordable. Comprehensive dental and vision plans are available.

After years of hard work, we all deserve a secure future. Prime helps you save for retirement through our 401(K) plan with pre-tax contributions. We offer 50% matching contributions up to $2,500 per year. We don’t just offer financial benefits – we also help you make sense of them, make the most of them, and make your down‑the‑road‑dreams a reality.

Our families matter to Prime. In the case of a catastrophic event, Prime offers all Employees a $25,000 life insurance policy. Supplemental life insurance options are also available.

Not gonna lie – we work hard here. But we work smart, too, by balancing things out with time off, company holidays, and shifts that work for you, allowing you time to rest and recharge. Employees have 7 paid holidays per year plus PTO available after 6 months.

Prime team members enjoy valuable perks that go beyond the job. Employees receive exclusive pricing on Prime products, along with extras like company apparel, steel‑toed boots for shop workers, and regular appreciation lunches and events that recognize their hard work.

Employees can choose health plans that include Health Savings Accounts or Flexible Spending Accounts for health and dependent care.
