Description

Mativ has openings for paper converting machine helpers (these entry level production positions typically begin in the retail department supporting the retail converting operations).   

One of the ways Mativ demonstrates its commitment to you, as an employee, is through its compensation program. Most people think of compensation as direct pay, but employee benefits can be a sizable portion of your total compensation. Mativ maintains a competitive compensation program by benchmarking its program with other companies. Mativ provides a large selection of benefits that help protect your health, wealth, and well-being. The company provides some benefits at no cost to you, some you pay for, and other benefit costs are split between the company and you. The flexibility of the Mativ benefits program helps you create the best benefits program that fits your needs and your lifestyle.

Employees get to choose from a variety of medical plans, dental plans, and vision as well. Employees have company paid short-term disability, wellness programs with health club membership reimbursement program, employee assistance programs, and a 401k with a company match, paid holidays, and vacations. Employee benefits begin on their first day of employment with the company; with paid holidays after 60 days.  Mativ offers 12 paid holidays per year.
