About the role

Fun.com Seasonal Equipment Operator Are you looking for a fast-paced job that requires no previous experience, offers a relaxed dress code and a fun atmosphere full of friendly people? Look no further! Get ready to join the Fun.com family! Located on Garvey Ave in Elsmere, KY, we have established ourselves as one of the largest online Halloween costume companies in the world and therefore need a ton of help this fall! In fact, we're looking at hiring over 50 more people as Equipment Operators right away!

Do you like to be active yet still intellectually challenged at work? Do you like to lift stuff? Do you enjoy mostly working independently? If so, you're exactly who we want! We've got tons of openings right now that are guaranteed to go through October.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
