Why Work Here?

Employees have clear opportunities for upward mobility, with a strong emphasis on learning, cross-training, and advancing into new roles based on performance rather than tenure. The organization regularly recognizes and appreciates its workforce through monthly events such as birthday lunches, food in the break room, silent auctions, and raffles, as well as traditional holiday gatherings and access to discounted tickets for local attractions. Team members benefit from a climate-controlled facility that supports comfort year-round, flexibility for personal appointments when needed, and a culture that values long-term tenure and consistent, high-quality work.

Work Environment

This position is on 1st shift, working from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in a large production facility that is air conditioned in the summer, heated in the winter, and humidity controlled to protect paper quality. The environment is loud due to multiple machines running, but it is very well lit, clean, and carefully maintained to support frequent client tours. Dress code requirements include close-toed shoes, no long or dangly items that could be caught in machinery (such as loose hair or sweatshirt strings, which must be tied back or secured), no dangly jewelry, and clothing and caps without profanity. The facility uses Tecnau digital machines with onsite technicians, and the work involves standing for most of the shift, light lifting, and hands-on interaction with modern printing and production equipment.
