Being part of the Press Team will allow candidates to learn the technical aspects of garment decoration and focus on teamwork, organization, effective communication, and the eventual operation of the press itself. Catchers can advance quickly by showing competence in the position, demonstrating they understand the order workflow process, and capitalizing on helping their team and other press teams during downtime.

Demonstrating confidence and effectiveness in the ability to accurately assist in the setup of the press during job changeover will lead to the opportunity to advance to Press Assistant, and eventually to Press Operator.

At JNJ, we expect a lot from our ideal candidates, in turn, we offer a great environment and the ability to advance should the candidate strive for it. We do not want our associates to stagnate or ever feel that this is "just a job." We will do all we can to assist those that want to learn and improve themselves in the decorated apparel industry.

Every day, we strive to be better than we were the day before. Invest in us, and we will invest in you
