You work in temperature-controlled environments with clearly defined procedures, allowing you to focus on quality and consistency.

The role is based out of the Chicago Heights area, with scheduled rotations to additional nearby facilities, and mileage is reimbursed when traveling between sites.

It has fewer lines, kettles, fillers, and blenders, and places a strong emphasis on safety and orderly inventory and supplies. The Chicago Heights facility is larger and more active, with a bigger workforce and many more production lines, resulting in a fast-paced environment that can feel busy and dynamic at times. It is also temperature controlled, includes security checkpoints at the front, and offers multiple break rooms for employees. Operations at both sites are similar, focusing on manufacturing products, bottling, staging, and shipping, with Alsip handling more customized orders and pallets and Chicago Heights managing more continuous batches and repetitive client orders.
