There is a small inherent risk in purchasing the stock of the company you work for. Your job is the biggest part of your financial well-being and purchasing stock in that same company concentrates your financial well-being that much more into that company. It increases your risk somewhat by concentrating your finances in one entity. If you're invested in the market, it's unwise to have all of your investments in a single company and buying stock in the company you work for is a similar problem. This is not to say that you shouldn't do it, but that you need to do your due diligence with that purchase just as you would any other and a thorough analysis of how it affects your financial position is part of that analysis.
