Challenging and rewarding position as import/export analyst
Customs Compliance Specialist (Former Employee), Minneapolis –
Pros: the universal family-like atmosphere and comrade, autonomy.
Cons: lack of benefits (contractor)
A typical work day involves the classification of imported/exported Graco commodities. This involves using a variety of resources, as well as collaboration and interaction with co-workers to interpret and apply proper Harmonized Tariff classification code. In addition to classifying commodities, I am responsible for updating information in Graco's information – more...  database, which is used by brokers who convey this information to U.S Customs and Border Patrol thus ensuring compliance. My co-workers and I work closely with Graco's Compliance supervisor who ensures uniform standards of classification are applied to all Graco imports and exports. The hardest part of my job is coordinating with other members of the compliance department to ensure a consistent, uniform standard of classifying all Graco imports and exports. The most enjoyable part of my job is collaborating with other departments to achieve mission success. – less

Assembly of various types of industrial pumps.
Lead Assembler (Former Employee), Minneapolis, MN –
Pros: people, easy assembly instructions, friendly atmosphere.
Cons: none.
A typical day started out as a review of the coming workday schedule, go over the list(s) of the equipment you are required to build, gather the parts needed to build said equipment, go about building product(s).
I have learned how to be productive in a fast-paced industrial work environment, and the management was very helpful in various areas, my – more...  co-workers were very supportive, and the hardest part of the job was leaving at the end of the day.
The most enjoyable part of the day was at the end; where you were able to look back on your day and be content on all that you have accomplished. – less

parts, parts, PARTS!
Material Handler (Former Employee), Macedonia, OH –
Pros: time went by quickly, company store
Cons: union dues and liasons
Performed the tasks involving the building of different Child Protection Seats and Booster Seats. I assisted with the ordering of materials, changing over the materials when a different seat was built on same cell, and transported palatalized items using a Forklift of Clamp-lift. I also prepared the paperwork and stickers for returning unused items – more...  to receiving. Management kept quiet as long as you did your job. My coworkers alerted me when they were low on parts so i could provide more without the line stopping. The hardest part was knowing who you could trust. The most enjoyable part was a fun team to work with. – less
