    they either buy stock/shares...???

    also if i recall about company owned businesses, the employees can hire, fire the members of the board, managers, president, etc,etc..THEY HAVE A SAY, on how it's run, with whom they elect or hire for those upper management jobs.

    don't like the managers,..?? YOU'RE FIRED.....!!!!!!

    A privately owned company where the officers and employees own all the stock shares. However, a few of the top managers will usually own a majority stake( most of the shares).

    yes, but a leverage buyout is always a possibility if the minions are dissatisfied.

    A lot of companies are employee owned and they even advertise it.

    After a year of employment you begin to earn shares during your time you work there. After 5 years you are fully vested. It's free money, but your "ownership" confers ZERO voting or management rights. It's ownership only by way of being a non-voting shareholder.

    IMO employee-owned means nothing good or bad about a company. There are as many ways to commit financial fraud using company stock as with cash.

    The examples I've seen the e-o companies reward employees with about the same value of stock, once they are eligible, as other companies give their employees toward 401k accounts.

    I'm not 100% sure but unless the company is traded on publuc stock exchanges I think the company declares the value of a share. If that's the case that leaves plenty of room for shenanigans. Whether a company is, or is not, employee owned tells me no more about a company than knowing if their street address is an odd or even number.

    From what I’ve been told by new driver, employees owns 51% of the company. You don’t have to do anything except work there. Fully vested after 6 years.
