- I have a variety of different bosses and supervisors at Big Jon.

- Each person is in charge of their own section of the company, making each job important.

- The company is divided into three sections, but those in charge stress that the company does not have separate “departments.”

- The different areas of Big Jon’s facility all work together for the goal, so they are “one.”

Supervisors and Bosses

- There is a variety of tools that I have used before, and an even wider variety of tools that I had never used before.

- They expected me to learn quickly, and to make no mistakes.

- I tried the best I could to pick up new skills fast, and get as much done as I could.

Tools and SkillsPackaging Machine

My Role at Big Jon- My job at Big Jon is packaging. I am responsible for completing much of the boxing of parts, and blister packaging as well.

- I use the lift truck to pull the parts from the shelves, and then return them to the shelves boxed up and ready for shipping.

- I also help with assembly if needed, such as screwing bases together, wrapping reels with line, or gluing rod holder caps on rod holders.

Parts and Products- These are the parts and products that I worked with at Big Jon.

- A downrigger is often sold for more than $600 (depending on electric or manual), and they are often bought in pairs or groups of four.

- Almost all metal parts are machined at Big Jon, and most plastic ones are shipped in from other locations.

- Other Responsibilities…

- I was instructed to clean this fishing boat with a power washer, and add new decals to the boat.

- Decades old machines were finally shipped out from the driveway, leaving a rusty and oily surface that needed cleaning.
