ABOUT PIONEER VALLEY

We are active on social media and regularly create videos showing how our candy is made and what happens behind the scenes. Employees may occasionally appear in or participate in these videos, so applicants should be comfortable being recorded while working and taking part in friendly, appropriate company content.
