Sort Associates play a key role in making sure packages move quickly and efficiently through the supply chain. Their duties may include scanning barcodes, lifting and moving packages, and maintaining a safe and clean work environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a sort associate, and why are they important?
