"It has been my pleasure to work within the Charms Company for 14 and a half years. I started as a temporary employee in the Fluffy Stuff department. I was hired full-time as a Boxing Line Operator. After the Boxing Line job, I began working in the Kitchen Department for several years before gaining the promotion of Team Lead. As Team lead, my journey led me to learn and work in the Packaging Department and Fluffy Department both. A new opportunity has been presented recently to work in the Kitchen/Wrapping Department. The opportunities just keep coming my way. For each given opportunity to learn and grow with the Charms Company, I am sincerely grateful. I look forward to this new opportunity. I am so thankful for the Charms Company... a company that allows their employees to plant seeds within the company and grow."

"Charms has been a fantastic place to work and grow in. I started my career in Jan-2017 in the Packaging, Supply position. In that position I was familiarized with the machinery, processes, and procedures to grow my career. Charms is a business that rewards hard work and loyalty. Before long I was promoted a Group-Leader of the Packaging department, this took place in Mar-2022. My short time as a Group-Leader provided me challenges to overcome and develop relationships which I use to this day. In Oct-2022, I was again promoted to the Plant Safety Coordinator position where I’m currently stationed. This company has been a rewarding place to work and displaying hard work will never go unnoticed here, I am an example of that."

"I've worked here for 45 years. I got my start here, fresh out of high school. This plant has been very good to me. They gave me a chance and sent me to Vo-Tech as I worked as a Lubrication Tech on 3rd shift. I got my Industrial Maintenance certificate, learned to weld and work on machinery, and worked my way up to A-Class Mechanic. I have enjoyed working here, learned a lot, and met some of the best people in my life (they are my family). I am very sure I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Charms Company. I have learned so much working on different machinery and with good mechanics over the years and I am very thankful for the opportunity I have been given here. I also have to acknowledge Personnel and the leadership for their support during the good and bad times."

"My name is Alex Oceguera. I've been working for Charms for 22 years and I can't imagine working for anyone else. From the early years as a Machine Operator to being the A-Class Mechanic I am now, Charms has helped me grow as a person and advance my career. I have met some of the nicest, friendly and caring individuals while working here. Charms is a great place to work. They offer good pay, great benefits, and more importantly, you feel appreciated and welcome every day you come to work."
