About The Position

Join Staples’ World Class Supply Chain Team and help deliver essential products to customers. As a warehouse associate, you may be assigned to receiving/putaway/returns or other warehouse areas—including bulk/material handling, porter, replenishment, returns, or shipping—as business needs require. In receiving/putaway/returns, you confirm product accuracy, work with colleagues to address discrepancies and damages, communicate professionally with internal and external contacts, manually unload trucks, palletize products, and use material handling equipment to move products. Not all work is completed using equipment.
