August 2026 – At Esler Companies, great work and meaningful moments are worth celebrating. Through its digital teammate appreciation program, teammates earn “Esler Bucks” through recognition, celebrations, contests and milestones.
With hundreds of ways to redeem their Bucks, teammates have the freedom to choose rewards they truly want. Here are just a few of their stories.
Turning Esler Bucks Into Family Getaways
Esler Companies offers paid volunteer time so teammates can contribute their time and talents to causes that are important to them, while also earning Esler Bucks for giving back. Ashley Moreno, Controller in Greater Nevada and leader of the local Renewal Cares Council, has turned some of the Bucks she earned while giving back into experiences of her own, including a recent cruise from California to Mexico.
“I love being able to spend time giving back to my community and earn Esler Bucks along the way,” said Moreno. “Using some of those Bucks for experiences with my family makes it even more special.”
In Oklahoma, Lora Chastain, an Order Processor, and Tim Chastain, an Installer, have made cruises a tradition. Over the years, the couple has used Esler Bucks toward several trips together. Most recently, Lora used the Bucks she received for her five-year Eslerversary to take Tim, their daughter and grandchildren on a cruise to Progreso, Mexico.
“We’ve been able to use our Esler Bucks for some really special trips over the years,” said Lora. “Getting to use them toward time away with our family has been one of our favorite benefits.”
The Most Magical Place on Earth
For Samantha Golanoski, a Senior Production Admin in Colorado, Esler Bucks have helped turn one of her favorite places into a repeat destination. Originally from California, Samantha used her Esler Bucks for two trips to Disneyland this year.
And she already has her sights set on her next Disney adventure.
“I’ve always loved Disney, so being able to use my Esler Bucks for something I already enjoy is really exciting,” said Samantha. “Now I’m saving for a trip to Tokyo Disney with my boyfriend, which is next on my list!”
Choosing a Conversation Over a Vacation
For Jason Balmos, an Event Marketing Representative in Central Texas, one of the most valuable ways to use his Esler Bucks was also one of the simplest: lunch with his local General Manager, Andrew Haskins.
After hearing Andrew speak at the company’s annual Kickoff meeting, Jason wanted to learn more about his experience and career path. Over lunch, they talked about Andrew’s journey at Esler Companies, career growth and Jason’s goal of becoming a Project Consultant.
“After seeing Andrew’s energy at Kickoff, I wanted the chance to sit down with him and learn from his experience,” said Jason. “I’m interested in becoming a Project Consultant, so being able to hear about his path and get his advice was really valuable.”
So, what’s next for Esler Companies teammates? Maybe a hot air balloon ride, behind-the-scenes access to a favorite professional sports venue, a secret food experience in a new city, a private sailing charter, or even the chance to fly a fighter jet. The best part is getting to choose what comes next.
