Lifting requirements range from 0 to 65 pounds. Loadout at the Madison Distribution Center involves reading order sheets, locating and retrieving boxes from a two-story rack system, placing boxes on a conveyor, stacking boxes onto pallets, or arranging them directly in trucks.

All areas involve continuous standing, walking, bending, stretching, climbing, pushing, pulling, and reaching. Some duties may require climbing stairs or ladders. Candidates must be able to meet the physical requirements with or without reasonable accommodation. The available areas require working six days per week, Monday through Saturday. The location accepts rehires, subject to a minimum 180-day waiting period and a three-time hire limit.
