Purchasing ESOPs (employee stock ownership plan)

Does anyone have any experience or any advice with purchasing ESOPs? 

I came across one company with structured like this, and I'm wondering whether there's any complication in purchasing one, and whether it's worth buying one in the first place.

^Searchfunder member‌ thanks for the tag. I have advised clients on strategic alternatives including structuring ESOPs when I was in banking. Definitely not a one size fit all strategy and quite complicated and costly. Happy to share the little that I know. PM me.
