Employees benefit from a clear path for growth over the first 1.5 years and beyond, with top performers often transitioning to permanent roles in as little as 90 days. Team members receive a pay increase upon becoming permanent and have opportunities to train in other departments and develop into leadership positions as new shifts and teams are established. This role is based in a non-climate-controlled production facility that is loud, fast paced, and can be somewhat disorganized at times. You will work primarily on 2nd shift from 4:00 PM to 12:30 AM, Monday through Friday, with one mandatory Saturday per month and up to 2 hours of overtime available each shift. A shift differential is offered for 2nd shift work.
