What you'll actually do
General labor work in Akron means moving and staging materials, loading and unloading trucks, and keeping work sites and production lines clean and clear. You'll often support skilled crews by handing them what they need and keeping their area running smoothly. Some days you're doing general production support on a line, other days you're hauling and organizing product in a warehouse. It's hands-on, physical work, and you're on your feet most of the shift.
