I ran various packaging machines which include baggers, pouchers and tub lines. My job duties included changing film rolls on the baggers and replenishing materials for poucher and tub lines. I was in charge of 5-10 employees and I directed them on which machine to pack on, how to pack the product and I also fixed any problem that arose such as quality issues. I ended up quitting because the smell of the dough and peanut butter was making me nauseous. It was a hard decision to make for me because I am not a quitter but decided my health was more important.
