Fulfillment Center Position
The position for the Fulfillment Center is part of a marketing “machine” that generates new business for a business-to-business vehicle shipping business and sends appreciation boxes for existing customers. It utilizes several workstations to produce our output of gift boxes. Every station is different but requires a keen attention to detail, as the gift box presentation is critical to making a great first impression on customers.
Some stations allow sitting while working, but others require standing for the entire shift. Because of this and the facility being only lightly air-conditioned, we recommend no more than 4-5 hours per shift. In the summertime, morning is recommended, as no air conditioning can combat the Florida heat in the afternoons. (There are space heaters for the few chilly days in the wintertime, too.)
This position involves lifting, bending, stretching, and lots of movement. You will lift up to 15 lbs often and up to 30 lbs occasionally. The position uses clips, tape guns, safety box openers, and other equipment for everyday duties. Closed-toed shoes are highly recommended for safety purposes.
The pay rate is $16/ HR.
The position normally allows you to listen to music while you work (with earbuds or headphones), provided production does not drop while doing so. Please do not use videos. While we are very flexible with hours, days, etc., we do require a certain output from each station to maintain the fulfillment center's weekly output. We also do not allow phone usage during work, except for emergencies.
We require pre-hire background checks, and the entire operation, inside and out, is monitored by cameras. We do this primarily for the safety of our staff because we would likely not hear if someone was injured. It also allows us to monitor production and watch for errors or issues.
The fulfillment center work itself can be quite mundane, tedious, and even boring at times.
We do expect staff to show up on time, work during working hours (minus breaks, of course) and we pay pretty well for that work. It’s not rocket science, nor do you receive Rocket Scientist wages, but we appreciate our staff–no matter which position they hold–and do our best to make working hours as comfortable as possible.
