Job Description

Staples is a leading retailer in office supplies, furniture, technology, and business services, known for its expansive network of physical stores and online presence. With a strong commitment to customer service and operational excellence, Staples operates dedicated supply chain facilities to ensure the timely delivery of essential products to its vast customer base. The company values an inclusive culture that promotes collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, making it an attractive employer for those looking to grow in a dynamic retail environment.

The role of a Warehouse Associate at Staples' World Class Supply Chain Team is critical to maintaining efficient warehouse operations and ensuring the smooth delivery of products to customers. This position involves working various roles within the warehouse, including material handling equipment operation, porting, replenishment, receiving, returns, and shipping. Associates must be adept at operating equipment such as forklifts, cherry pickers, turrets, and electric pallet jacks to move products safely and efficiently. Safety is a top priority, and associates are expected to adhere strictly to safety protocols to foster a safe workplace.

Warehouse Associates contribute to the overall success of Staples’ supply chain by managing inventory, handling product discrepancies, maintaining cleanliness, and supporting shipment and receiving processes. They work in a fast-paced environment requiring physical stamina, as the role involves lifting, pushing, and pulling merchandise weighing up to 100 pounds, standing and walking for 100% of the time, and occasionally working at heights up to 60 feet. The position also offers an opportunity for performance-based pay where associates can earn additional compensation by meeting productivity thresholds.

Staples offers competitive pay starting at $22.50 per hour, with additional benefits for full-time associates including paid time off, holiday schedules, health and wellness programs, and discounts. The company fosters an inclusive environment with support from associate-led Business Resource Groups, emphasizing a collaborative and supportive culture. This role is suitable for individuals who are physically fit, safety-conscious, and willing to embrace various responsibilities within the warehouse to help deliver a seamless customer experience.
