Why work at Mid-State?


FAMILY OWNED
Welcome to the best of both worlds. At Mid-State, we have the sales volume of a large corporation with the atmosphere and culture of a small family shop. You can expect a blue-collar, casual environment where your voice can always be heard. Our managers and leaders have a strict "open-door" policy as well, and are always accessible to you.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Your future is in your hands. The majority of our management (including our owners) have all started on the ground-level, pick, packing, and sorting their way to success. None of our managers are above any job, task, or duty that needs performed to satisfy our customers. This dedication to getting the job done, combined with an eagerness to learn new skills is a proven recipe for success with us.

REWARDING MERIT
We value education as much as anyone, but many of our most successful employees come from a non-college educated background. Above all else, we reward a positive attitude, strong work-ethic, and the willingness and ability to learn new skills. Our compensation is never tied to tenor or seniority, but the quality of your work.

VALUES
Our values go beyond serving our customers. We believe a healthy work/home balance is crucial for our employee's long-term success. While overtime opportunities are available for those need it, we never force unexpected hours or shifts on our employees. When the work day is over, go home to your family and enjoy your personal life.
