Seasonal Product Maker

Product Maker

Each day will be a little different, depending on the needs of the team. In the morning you will check in to see the task assignments for the day, you see that the group task is making gift wrapped bar sets. You have a brief check in with the team and start setting up your work area with all of the supplies you need and get started on your goal of 90 gift wrapped sets. After lunch, you do a quick check in with the team lead and it turns out we need to switch tasks, we have sold 100 custom ordered Nibby Toffee Boxes and will need to get them assembled and packed up in time for an afternoon pick up. At the end of the day you clean up your work area and make sure that all finished products are counted and that the task is closed out - once this is all finished you cut some ribbon to prep for a special project the following day. Other days, your mornings may be filled with helping the confections team tie ribbons on bon bon boxes, packing chips for s'mores kits, or hand labeling chocolate bars. No matter the task, you catch on quickly and always maintain our high quality standards even in a busy time. This full-time position starts at $25/hour.
