Deidra Willis is a systems engineer for fruit snacks at our plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. When asked what she loves about her job, Willis said: "No day is ever the same and you can’t help but have fun when you’re making fruit snacks. I get to work with unique equipment on a challenging complex system making sweet, tasty products with a talented, fun group of people. I’ve been eating our snacks since I was a kid, so it means so much more to have inside perspective now. I love that our brand is fun and young and our marketing is quirky and silly. I also love that we have innovative proprietary equipment and a close relationship with R&D."

Ashley McCray is a research and development engineer for Old El Paso, and she’s passionate about her work. McCray says, “I love my job because I get paid to improve the world, one plate at a time while working with some of the best people on earth. I am honored with the privilege of making tacos for a living! I get to interact with consumers and strangers about what they love and turn it into a reality on their plate. Our team creates delicious products that make cooking easier and more fun. That way no matter the occasion the cook is sharing tacos at, they have time and energy to enjoy the fellowship.”
It's International Volunteer Day! We're proud of our employees around the world who devote time to make a difference in their communities.
