3rd shift-Maintenance Mechanic

Gertrude Hawk began making chocolates in her kitchen in 1936. Her family, like many others during the Great Depression, was struggling to make ends meet. Gertrude’s friends, family, and neighbors were the company’s first employees: helping her craft, package, and sell her handmade chocolate treats. Throughout the four generations of our company’s history, we’ve been helped and guided by the finest group of people imaginable—our co-workers. Candy makers, packers, store managers, molders, warehouse people, cashiers, and on and on. It is impossible to list the names of the countless people, who worked alongside our great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents, many of whom have decades of experience. We rely on the hard work and expertise of our co-workers to craft a delicious product we make and sell with pride. None of this would be possible without you. Our people are unquestionably our greatest asset.
