You join a team-focused organization that values recognition, growth, and work-life balance. The company offers weekly performance-based attendance bonuses, holiday pay for major holidays, and comprehensive benefits once you transition to a direct role. You receive structured performance reviews at 30, 60, and 90 days, with clear opportunities for pay increases tied to performance and cross-training rather than time in the role. A transparent promotion path allows you to advance from Associate to Specialist and Lead, each step bringing additional pay increases. The culture emphasizes retention and appreciation, with regular employee events such as monthly and quarterly barbeques, themed holiday celebrations, and an onsite employee garden that encourages community and engagement.

The role is based in a warehouse environment with very tall inventory shelves and open bay doors where trucks load and unload inventory throughout the day. Safety is a major priority, with clear procedures and expectations for material handling and equipment use. The temperature in the warehouse generally matches the outdoor conditions, so you should be comfortable working in varying seasonal temperatures. You will work Monday through Friday, with an initial training schedule of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., spending most of your shift on your feet walking, lifting, and moving materials. The facility uses computers, iPads, RF scanners, pallet jacks, and forklifts to support daily operations, and provides onsite forklift training and certification for eligible employees.
