Pros
Independent work atmosphere, 9-5 mon-fri and occasional monthly bonus
Cons
One-man operation and responsible for ALL warehouse operations. Shipping & Receiving of stock, daily cycle counts, rolling down “less than 50yd” vinyl orders, building boxes for outbound product, handling customer pickups, janitorial duties: taking out trash, hauling out pallets, keeping the place clean, etc... The product can be 60"+ long and weigh up to 100lbs+. A standard workweek can require anywhere from 5,000-15,000lbs+ of product give or take(inbound+outbound) placed on or removed from warehouse racking one box at a time, by hand, in narrow aisles with no forklift. You are constantly bending, lifting and twisting in awkward motions. Long story short, the physical demands of this job are extreme and hard work goes unrecognized.
