Warehouse Associate

Hey there. I've been placing people in warehouse roles for over a decade, and I can tell you this one at Grainger in Fargo, ND is worth a look. The pay progression is clear, the benefits kick in immediately, and the schedule's consistent. It's straightforward work with a company that's been around.

The Work

You'll be handling the core tasks that keep products moving to customers. That means unloading trucks, sorting items, labeling boxes, and packing orders correctly. You're using scanning equipment to track everything. A big part of the job is maintaining a clean and safe workspace; you'll follow all OSHA and hazardous material rules.

• Safely complete inbound or outbound tasks like unloading, sorting, and packing.
• Make sure every order that ships meets quality standards.
• Operate computerized scanners to track inventory.
• Keep your work area organized and hazard free.
• You'll also take direction from leadership on other tasks as needed.

What You Need to Bring

This is a physical job. You're on your feet in an active warehouse environment with some noise, dust, and temperature variation. You need to be comfortable working around moving equipment and sometimes on elevated platforms.

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• The ability to frequently lift, slide, and lower packages weighing up to 75 pounds is essential.
• You should work well with feedback and as part of a team.

A plus if you've got previous experience in a warehouse, retail, or a fast paced customer service role. Great attention to detail; for both quality and safety; really helps here.

The Schedule & Pay

The opening is on the night shift: Monday through Thursday. It's a four day week with ten hour shifts. Your start time will be either 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM.

The base pay starts at $20.65 an hour. There are three raises within your first year that will bring your rate up to $21.85/hour. On top of that, there's an extra $1 per hour for operating powered industrial equipment (PIE) and another $1 per hour premium for working the overnight shift.

What You Get From Day One

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage starts on your first day of employment.
• They offer access to up to 50% of your earned pay before the official payday.
• Full time employees get 18 paid time off days annually (prorated based on start date) plus 6 company holidays each year.
• A 6% company contribution goes into your 401(k) retirement plan each pay period; no employee contribution is required to get it.
• The list keeps going: employee discounts, parental leave programs, safety shoes where applicable; it's a solid package.
