· A flexible schedule that may include some weekends or evenings

· A basic familiarity with computers and the internet to allow for interactions with our production/inventory management software

· Unloading and loading freight with our forklift

The hourly pay for this position will be $19 per hour for a training period of 90 days after which time, compensation for the position will be commensurate with experience. This position will include six paid holidays and 16 days of paid leave after the training period. We offer a modest healthcare stipend and a 401(k).
