PTO. There are also many career advancement pathways in this opportunity that can lead to
advanced assembly, electrician or leadership roles as the company expands. The company you
will be assigned to has recently purchased a new facility in Beloit and is in process of expanding
the existing facility in Darien - a lot of growth happening! You will also be eligible for profit
