Inspiration at Work
Why SCT? Hear from current employees about their experiences.
"I came to SCT to supplement income while building clientele after barber school. I stayed because I fell in love with the culture and SCT’s Mission, Vision, and Values. SCT is the first manufacturing company where I didn’t feel like just a number, and I saw opportunities for growth. I started in the Roll Warehouse, became a Web Cutting Operator, then moved into a Trainer role, and now I serve as a Production Supervisor at our Compress location."
"I was initially drawn to SCT by the company’s Christian values, and I’ve stayed because of its positive culture and work environment. My growth here has been significant—I started as a 2nd Press Operator, but with 11 years of previous experience in cutting, I aspired to return to that role. When the opportunity came, I was promoted to Cutter Operator, and it feels like I’m back home."
"I was referred to SCT by a family member and they always told me how great it was to work here. I was looking for a new role that provided development and a place to start a career. I found that at SCT. I have stayed because of the amazing people and positive environment. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive. Since joining, I’ve grown a lot personally and professionally. I started as a Production Assistant and now I serve as a Shift Lead in the Clamshell Department."
