EPISODE #09
Grow With Us A "Quality" Experience
The word farming used to inspire thoughts of open fields, plows and hay. Today, the greenhouse industry has completely revolutionized this term. Greenhouses have transformed agriculture and allowed for the fusion of automation and technology. Now, the careers and roles that would have once been thought to be completely unrelated to farming have expanded and evolved, offering individuals with many different pathways to explore their interests and passions.
The Quality Assurance department is one of many departments in Mucci Farms that provides individuals with an opportunity to begin their produce career, even without prior knowledge or experience. When asked to describe the perfect candidate, Cesar, our HR Recruiter and Bret, our Quality Manager both agreed that a determined, open-minded and enthusiastic individual would be the best fit at Mucci Farms. An employee with a hunger for growth and knowledge will find that there are a multitude of advancement opportunities available to them in a variety of fields and specialties.
Dallas and Sam both began their produce careers in the QA department, using it as a stepping stone that led them to their current roles. Both began their careers with a willingness to learn and grow, with the intent to grow within the company. For Dallas, a role in QA provided the opportunity to secure a position as a Sales Assistant. Sam began her journey unaware of how many opportunities would come her way through her years in QA. In her current role as a commodity planner, Sam is able to combine her love for the produce industry and her technical skills used in QA.
The extreme growth and progression that has happened in the greenhouse industry and at Mucci Farms has helped pave the way for a variety of careers. With a strong sense of determination and a willingness to grow, the opportunities are endless. Grow With Us at: www.muccifarms.com/careers/
