Why Work Here?

We offer a wellness program that rewards individuals who lead the way in celebrating weight loss challenges, including gym memberships and Apple watches. We host monthly events such as hiding golden coins throughout the facility that permanent employees can exchange for PTO. Additionally, we have a gardening competition where individuals compete to grow the best garden outside of work with cash prizes. A committee formed two years ago aims to improve overall morale and develop a feedback-rich environment. Engineers regularly communicate with production workers on the floor, and we provide 30 minutes of paid lunch. Weekly check-ins ensure candidates are catching on and thriving, and we understand that not every trainer is the best fit for every trainee, so we are willing to change trainers if necessary.
