Key facts

What the public record shows

Each fact comes from a government record or the company's own materials.

  • 4.26 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers in 2025, from OSHA injury reports for its Texas sites. The national rate for the same industries is 7.32 (BLS, 2024).
  • 4.11 injuries per 100 full-time workers led to days away, restricted duty, or a job transfer in 2025.
  • 1 of 1 U.S. Department of Labor wage and hour case in Texas found violations, last 5 years.
  • 2 EEOC lawsuits or conciliations involving this employer, nationwide, last 5 years.
  • The company's own materials describe 6 of 9 workplace practices Workarma looks for, including training or tuition programs, paid leave, and mental health or assistance benefits.
  • Files a federal report for an employee health plan (Form 5500, 2024 plan year).
  • Employer retirement contributions averaged $8,642 per active participant in 2024, from Form 5500 filings. The median among employers Workarma tracks is about $2,300.
  • CEO pay was 334 times the median employee's pay, company-wide, in its latest proxy statement.

Government enforcement records are mostly complaint-driven. A short record is not proof of good conditions, and a long one can reflect a large workforce or active reporting.
