You join a growing organization that actively invests in long-term employees and their development.

You receive one week of vacation after your first year, along with an additional 40 hours of flexible time that you can use as needed to support work-life balance. The organization also recognizes hard work through annual bonuses, such as a recent bonus of $900 around the holiday season, creating a supportive and rewarding environment for dedicated team members.

You work on a fixed shift schedule with occasional overtime: 1st shift runs from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., 2nd shift from 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and 3rd shift from 11:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m., Sunday through Thursday. The environment requires adherence to specific dress and hygiene standards, including no jewelry, false eyelashes, or piercings while on the production floor. Certain areas of the facility can be cold, and jackets are provided for comfort.
