What is a
Warehouse Associate
?
A Warehouse Associate typically works "behind the scenes" as a labor worker in a warehouse. They work under company-specific policies and procedures to receive, unload, organize, deliver, and inventory supplies, materials, and products. The specific items they handle depend the company for which they work. They are required to keep detailed stock records, and may be required to do office-related tasks, like data entry. All warehouse associates are required to constantly handle and manage merchandise, so they must be detail-oriented and organized.
