Surroundings . You'll be working around moving machines - order pickers, stand-up forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts.

Activity . Some activities may require standing in one place for long periods, walking around, or climbing stairs. You and your team are engaged the entire shift.

Temperature . Even with climate controls, temperatures can vary between 60°F and 90°F in some parts of the warehouse; on hot days, temperatures can be over 90°F in the truck yard or inside trailers.

Noise level. It can get noisy at times. We provide hearing protection if you need it.
