You will join a small, friendly team where you can interact with colleagues throughout the day and enjoy a supportive work atmosphere.

The consistent daytime schedule supports work-life balance and provides predictable hours. You will gain hands-on experience with warehouse technology and processes in a setting that values approachability, teamwork, and clear communication.

You will work in a smaller stock room within a corporate and manufacturing facility rather than a large, traditional warehouse. The team consists of about five people, with approximately four others working in the packing area at the La Grange location. Each person has their own work station equipped with a computer and RF scanner. The schedule runs from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., providing a consistent daytime shift.

The role involves standing and sitting at your station, handling boxes and materials, and working around typical warehouse and stock room equipment.
