We are currently hiring associates for our Shipping Department. This position works with the rest of the shipping department to pull, cube, and ship out the daily orders.
A day in the life of a shipping associate …You will start out getting a packet of orders to pull from our current on hand inventory. These are the books that were sold the day/night before. After that you might be gathering together books at the cube wall or working at a shipping station mailing out orders. Above all else this job requires that you be focused and precise.

Work steadily on an independent basis
Meet and exceed expectations often and when asked
Get a little dirty sometimes and be okay with it
Show up to work every day and on time
And can generally get along with other people
Easy enough? Then we'd like to hear from you!
