  • Lifting : Handling various items, including cases / bags of produce + protein up to ~40 lbs
  • Tactile Sensitivity : Use touch to assess quality and complete detail-oriented tasks
  • Visual + Auditory Observation : Maintain attention to detail and environmental awareness during operations
  • Must be available to work a minimum of 30 hours per week
  • Must be 18 years of age or older
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States
  • What Perks You’ll Get

  • (subject to location and role)
  • Competitive wages (with raises for learning new skills)
  • Medical, dental, and vision plan options for part-time and full-time team members
  • Paid vacation + wellness time
  • Paid parental leave
  • 401k
