The culture emphasizes a clean, organized, and safe work environment where your attention to detail and strong work ethic are recognized and appreciated.

The third floor is not climate controlled, but no work is performed there. You will work a first-shift schedule from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, for an 8-hour shift each day. The work involves standing for most of the shift, operating press machines, rotating between workstations, and handling metal coils and boxes.
