Job Description

Performance Foodservice is a leading broadline distributor renowned for its extensive network and commitment to serving a diverse range of local customers, including independent restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, schools, and quick-service eateries. With a dedicated team of sales representatives, chefs, consultants, and operational experts, the company goes beyond merely delivering quality food products; it builds lasting relationships by offering tailored advice on enhancing operations, menu development, product selection, and strategic business growth. The company thrives on supporting independent restaurant owners and other foodservice clients in achieving their business aspirations, making it a trusted partner in the food distribution industry.

This role is an essential part of the warehouse operations team, focusing on selecting cases and various containers of food and non-food products to fulfill customer orders. The position requires working with multi-level rack warehouse storage systems to ensure timely and accurate order fulfillment. Employees use equipment such as electric pallet jacks and forklifts to transport pallets to loading docks, preparing them for shipment by wrapping and labeling. Attention to safety and adherence to quality standards are critical to maintaining an efficient production flow and a safe workplace environment. The job schedule is Sunday through Thursday, starting at 5:30 pm and continuing until the task is complete. Training pay starts at $17.00 per hour, with potential earnings reaching up to $42.00 per hour post-training. Benefits commence from day one of employment, including free uniforms and an annual allowance for safety boots.

The position emphasizes teamwork, safety, and productivity. Employees must adhere to preferred work methods and safety protocols, ensuring their work area remains safe and reporting any hazards immediately. Preparations for each shift involve reviewing schedules, gathering necessary supplies, and conducting safety checks on equipment. The role demands meeting productivity and accuracy standards set by the location and company. Manual labor is involved, including lifting and placing stock items on pallets, sometimes weighing between 10 to 100 pounds, as well as operating equipment within various temperature settings such as dry, cooler, and freezer environments. The job also requires maintaining equipment by managing battery replacements and conducting vehicle inspections. Throughout the shift, employees are expected to don personal protective equipment and follow company guidelines diligently.

Beyond operational responsibilities, the company fosters a culture of growth, inclusivity, and respect. Employees benefit from competitive compensation packages that include day one health and wellness benefits, an employee stock purchase plan, employer-matched 401K, education assistance, and paid time off. The culture promotes rewards and recognition, ensuring employees feel valued and respected while contributing to a vital national food distribution system through essential work. This is an opportunity for individuals seeking both immediate employment benefits and career development within a supportive and dynamic team setting.
