Back in 1983, Napoleon Jackson came up the hard way when he first started working in a box plant — handloading bales of corrugated without the modern luxury of conveyors. For most of his career, he built up his skills on the plant floor, learning alongside machine operators and supervisors. Napoleon recalls how much things changed for him when PCA acquired the box plant he worked at about 15 years ago, "I didn't know anything about computers or managing people until PCA." Napoleon excelled as a Superintendent and eventually Production Manager through hands-on leadership. "At PCA, we always teach the importance of safety and let our employees know how they did that day and what they brought to the table. It's important to recognize success and hold each other accountable." When asked about the advice he'd give to someone just starting their career, Napoleon says, "Be dedicated, show up and apply yourself. There will be opportunities to move up." Outside of work, Napoleon makes sure to spend time with his wife, kids and grandkids — often at parks. Otherwise, you may find him cruising in his four-wheeler, Corvette or Slingshot! We'd like to thank Napoleon for over four decades of hard work and dedication. Please join us in congratulating him on this amazing career milestone!
