My company is a privately owned company that offers a Profit Sharing Plan.
It is distributed the following way:
-> 100% match on 401K deferrals of 1% of salary
-> 50% match on the next 1% salary and 25% match on 3-6% of salary.
-> Any remaining stock is distributed to all plan participants. Vests in 3 yrs (I have 1 year to go)
My problem is I am a bit skeptical of this plan as we only get one statement per year ... and can we say Enron?
I would prefer they gave me cash and I use it as I please.

a share of the profits is a beautiful thing If it was in cash... I would agree  Yes I guess it is wrong of me not to have much faith in my company  |

It is good because it (in theory) incentives employees to work at increasing the profits of the company.
Full disclosure, we have a similar plan at our company.

...I agree with Archie... but I have almost always worked non-profits, so we bust our butt for loftier goals...  |

I can understand how it would work in theory and everyone would want to bust their a$$ But for some reason, I would prefer cash instead of company stocks  |

I agree that cash would be better Can you sell the stock immediately on receipt? If so, you can convert it to a traditional fund, etc...
