Location: Ripon, WI
Company: Alliance Laundry/Speed Queen
Experience: Mid-level
Highest Level of Education: Undergraduate Degree



Job Responsibilities
The inspection and evaluation of parts used in the manufacture of our company's products.
Job Requirements
I have 2 Associates degrees (AA - Business, AS - Social Sciences) and a Bachelors degree (BS - Social Sciences/Humanities) Various amounts of experience gained through years of work related conditions.
Uppers
I have freedom of movement and schedualing. I enjoy the variations in my work load and daily criteria. I like the people I work with.
Downers
This is not the career of my choice, nor the income level I desire. My life has adapted to the environment that I have found myself living in.
Lifestyle
I live in a small town, without the luxuries of a major metropolitan city. I live in a very community-relation, outdoor-activity-rich environment. My work hours are from 6:00am to 2:00pm, so I still have a fair amount of the day left available to me. Since I live in a small town, my commute is under 5 minutes each way. This is wonderful, especially in the winter with heavy snowfall. Dress code is very relaxed at work. Jeans (or shorts in the Summer) and T-shirts.
Compensation
I have only been with the company for approximately one year, so my pay is still fairly low. I make approximately $11.00 per hour, and have full benefits through the company. Many employees have been with the company for over 20 years.
Advice to Jobseekers
This is a great company to work for. Depending on your position, it can be tedious, or relaxed.
