Employees benefit from a culture that values hard work, recognition, and internal growth. The organization offers competitive benefits, robust health coverage, and a strong emphasis on promoting from within, with multiple team leads having advanced from entry-level roles. Team members enjoy 11 paid holidays, three weeks of PTO to start, and a structured quarterly bonus program tied to performance and on-time shipping. The company regularly recognizes safety and performance through awards, gift cards, and special events, and provides thoughtful perks such as free coffee, bottled water, safety gear, and seasonal treats. Leadership is actively focused on building and improving the culture, fostering a close-knit environment where every person’s contribution is important.

This role is based in a manufacturing facility that produces industrial roofing urethane, asphalt products, and adhesive tapes, including large rolls of tape used in the roofing industry. The plant operates on a 1st shift schedule from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with occasional overtime and weekend work required based on production and maintenance needs. The environment can be disorganized and messy at times, with boxes and pallets throughout the facility and narrow aisle ways that require a high level of skill and awareness when operating forklifts. Fans run to improve air circulation, and there is a noticeable odor from adhesives and glues used in production, although the chemicals used are described as non-hazardous and not dangerous to breathe when handled properly. The company provides free safety gear from vending machines, including items such as safety equipment and steel toe boots once brought on as a permanent employee (with additional pairs for certain roles), as well as free coffee and bottled water. Employees receive scheduled breaks, including 15-minute breaks and a half-hour lunch, and enjoy periodic company-provided lunches, holiday luncheons, and seasonal items like popsicles and cooling gear in the summer to help keep people comfortable on the job.
