The primary function of the Line 405 Seasonal Crew (3rd Shift) is to support the Line 400 Unassigned Crew in producing Little Debbie Cosmic products to meet our peak seasonal demand.

We understand you may wonder what happens after the holidays. Please be assured that these are not temporary holiday-only positions. Once seasonal demand normalizes, team members in these roles will transition back to their Line 400 Unassigned Crew positions, supporting production needs across the facility based on operational demand. This may include assignment to different production lines. Team members in these roles will also be eligible to apply for regular openings as they arise.

A Process Line Support's primary role is to receive training and become proficient in specific rated positions as assigned by their direct supervisor. Additionally, the Process Operator Line Support must be capable of performing entry-level tasks such as catching, monitoring, palletizing, make-up and/or wrapper room utility, along with other duties as needed. This role also involves filling in for absentees, providing training, and assisting other team members when required.
