Hood Container To Hire 100+ Employees In Owensboro, KY
“It’s a great opportunity for entry-level production and packing associates,” said Karen Wilhite, Regional Manager of Hire Dynamics, the company helping fill the positions. “It’s a really good family-feel environment and they get re- ally good reviews. It’s a great way to earn extra money, especially for the upcoming holidays.” Working hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily, and overtime is optional. Wilhite said there’s plenty of potential for extra work. During peak season, workers can nearly double their pay with the various incentives offered. Wilhite also noted that employees are eligible for ben- efits from day one and a one-week vacation package after 1,900 hours. They can also earn unlimited referral bonuses of either $50 for entry-level positions or $100 for special- ty positions. She also said the advantages of working at Owensboro Hood Container go beyond the paycheck and benefits, though. “The team and management have a passion for the people that are there every day to get the product out and show that Owensboro is a great place to work,” she said. “It’s making everyone happy. It’s about the well-being of the employees. It’s about mentoring and offering steward- ship.

After exponential growth under new ownership the last two years, Hood Container, which is operating as Pack- aging Unlimited after acquiring the company three years ago, is looking to hire more than 100 employees to fill roles ranging from forklift operators to supervisors, according to a report in The Ownesboro Times . Packaging Unlimited is considered a “mill-to-market” packaging company, which means they oversee the man- ufacturing process from the mill to the end user. Hood Container Corporation is the 8th largest paper- board company in the United States. Along with paper mills, Hood Container holds a network of corrugators, con- verters, packaging manufacturers, display producers and contract packaging facilities. The entire Owensboro Hood Container team has been instrumental in a culture change over the last two years. Two faces of the new leadership in Owensboro include Operations Manager Issac Ralph and Production Manager Danny Clouse. “We’ve grown so rapidly under Hood Container that we need more people here to work,” Ralph said, noting they’ve doubled their growth since 2018. The company is seeking forklift drivers, packaging associates, line work- ers, quality technicians, team leaders and supervisors.
