Walk into any business, and learn a lot about the work environment based upon how the employees communicate. Do they say hi to you as they pass through the lobby? Do they look relaxed, confident, upbeat, empowered? When you walk around, do you see teams brainstorming on new product development, managers out of their offices listening to production workers, people eager to volunteer time in areas that don’t necessarily fit their job function?
One visit to AGCEA will tell you that this a place where you would thrive. Here, we operate as a small, independent division of a very large multi-national corporation, and have the best of those two very different worlds. Our headquarters site houses the majority of our employees and because we’re not a huge organization, we all get to know one another and have a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Everyone who works at AGCEA knows that safety and product-quality are always our number one priority. Employee safety, our customers’ needs, product quality, and employee engagement are all key to our success. Our employees are the most critical asset we have in order to deliver on our promises to our customers. We take our work seriously and are enjoying significant growth because we persist through challenges to continuously improve and innovate.
At AGCEA, new ideas are welcome, and initiative is rewarded with a competitive salary and benefits package. We work hard but encourage work-life balance through a generous PTO program. We’re building a business you’ll want to be part of. Join us!
