Why Work Here?

Employees benefit from a structured growth path that includes eligibility for raises every six months during the first two years of permanent employment. The organization offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits, as well as tuition reimbursement to support ongoing education and skill development. Team members can build long-term financial security through a competitive 401(k) program with a 6% match and enjoy a generous 5 weeks of paid time off. The culture emphasizes advancement opportunities, rewarding reliable performance and encouraging those who want to grow their careers within a stable, team-oriented environment.

Work Environment

The role is based in a manufacturing and warehouse facility of approximately 10,000 square feet, with around 40 employees working on the floor. The environment includes large paint filling lines and can be messy due to paint and production activities, so comfort working in an industrial setting is important. Multiple shifts are available: a first shift from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with some overtime opportunities; a second shift from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., where overtime is often available by starting earlier around 8:00 a.m.; and a third shift from 6:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., which typically requires training on second shift for 1 to 4 weeks (10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.) before moving to nights, with overtime often available by working until 4:30 a.m. Overtime is encouraged for those interested in transitioning to permanent employment but is not required for temporary workers. The position involves frequent use of RF scanners, pallet-moving equipment, and, once trained, stand-up forklifts, center riders, and order pickers in a busy, production-driven setting.
