Stand up Reach Truck, Stand up Forklift, Stand up Rider pallet jack will all be utilized

Candidates support 6a-6p Prepack Schedule

**Every New hire will start entry level despite how many years of experience they have. They will be assigned the equipment that is open, and that will be the manual and electric pallet riders.

The forklifts and stand up lifts will all be in use by more tenured staff and each candidate will have to learn their warehouse, the small aisles, their inventory system and the flow of their product until they are "promoted" to the next piece of equipment. Their ability to move up will be contingent on their ability to learn the warehouse and the equipment that is open. Asking to move up is not allowed as that will be determined by their natural progression, learning and performance reviews.

**Naturally if equipment comes open as someone has the skill set, many have already moved up quickly into reach truck roles etc. to utilize them as best as they can; however I would anticipate most will be there at least 1-3 months before being on an electric pallet jack based on their level of learning and ability to meet production demands

Will generally be there a few weeks up to 6 months before they operate a forklift which are all stand up lifts

Experience with repetitive tasks, preferably in packing product and must be able to lift 40 lbs unassisted

Understand and maintain production metrics and standards
