POV: this is how you start your workday. 🎶

No traffic. No cubicle. Just trucks scattering across the yard like it's Rainbow Road and the shift's officially on.

If your commute needs an upgrade, we're hiring. Come build pyro for shows around the world — apply today or stop by the plant.

Bills. Cowboys. Bears. Lions. And a couple of free agents. 😂🏈

Cory asked our supervisors one question: why do you actually like coming to work at Next FX every day?

Their answers didn't sound scripted, because they weren't. The physical work. Something different every single day. The challenge of testing until a product is exactly right. And yeah — a 4-day workweek doesn't hurt either.

Want to see it for yourself? Stop by the plant and Cory will take you on a tour.

What do people get wrong about pyrotechnics? Apparently… a lot. 😂💥

No, we’re not only busy around the Fourth of July. No, you can’t just grab this stuff at a fireworks stand. And no, it’s not all made by machines.

From concerts and movies to major productions and events, pyrotechnics are a year-round industry, and there are real people behind every product we make, pack, and ship.

Think this sounds like a pretty cool place to work? Next FX is hiring. Come be part of the team that makes the magic happen. 🔥

Things you only hear at a pyro plant… 🎆

“Glitter pack.”
“Those stars are squirrely.”
“This is a GERB.”
“What was that noise?”

Just another day at the office. 😂🔥

Think you could get used to conversations like these? We’re hiring! Come build some seriously cool stuff with us.

What it takes to make ONE firework. 🎇

Chem lab. Press. Assemble. Test. Ship. Every step done by hand, every step done right.

The cue you'll watch this weekend? It started as powder in a Montana lab.
We're hiring. Come build the stuff that ends up on stage.

Some jobs have casual Fridays. We have casual 💥

All in a day’s work when testing pyro is literally part of the job.

Oh, and did we mention we’re hiring? 👀
