106 Years of Light: The YESCO Legacy of Appreciation
We’ve spent over a century helping iconic brands shine. Across 106 years, we’ve learned that true power doesn’t come from electricity. It comes from the people who design, build, and maintain this legacy. Our service award program reflects a belief that a career here should be a lifetime journey, not a temporary stop.
Just as sign making has evolved from neon to high-tech LEDs, recognition has transformed. Several years ago we traded traditional tie tacks and necklaces for rewards that reflect a modern professional identity, offering more flexibility and personal choice for everyone.
Recognition begins on day one. We celebrate one-year anniversaries with a stainless steel #1: a solid foundation for the future. Every five years thereafter, we honor our employees with:
- Custom Number Awards: Precision-crafted from stainless steel and laser-etched with the employee’s name.
- Certificates of Achievement: Hand-signed by the Chairman of the Board, ensuring every career marker is recognized at the highest level.
- A Gift of Choice: A curated catalog of rewards as unique as the individuals receiving them.
Every veteran strengthens our “institutional DNA.” They carry unwritten knowledge, such as client nuances and specialized shop tricks, that no manual can teach. When new hires see colleagues celebrated for 30 or more years of service, it proves YESCO isn’t just a workplace; it’s a professional home.
We view appreciation as a vital investment. By celebrating these milestones, we are investing in stability and growth. It’s how we’ve kept the lights on for over a century, and it’s how we’ll lead for the next hundred.
