Warehouse Production Associate at Fun Ecom Co | Great People, Consistent Hours & Growth

--Is this a real job ad--

Yup! Amazingly enough we actually paid money to post this on a bunch of different job sites. And its not even a pyramid scheme! Plus get this: the owner just started paying our 70ish employees with money instead of Pizza Hut coupons - were big time people.

Our careers page is actually worth checking out to learn more about how insane we are (sidenote: it won a web design award in 1993 - were a pretty big deal):

check out our reviews on Google Glassdoor or Indeed to see that its not just the founders mother who says were cool.

--What do you guys do--

We sell a lot of different things but our primary focus now is developing/engineering from scratch very cool products in a variety of niches.

A small sampling:

- Bad Parking Cards ( Steak Weights ( Beverage Barricades ( business is growing rapidly every year and its our intention to continue that for as long as possible which means we need good people to help us keep up with the growth.

--What are your companys values--

See here: those are legitimately our values. The careers page is definitely worth checking out - its not just normal corporate BS. We promise youll learn a lot about us.

--So what will I actually be doing--

Super short version:

You will be working on a small manufacturing line to process pieces into sellable units to ship out. We have hundreds of different products but we usually do small batches so youre working on a different thing multiple times per day usually.

The general workflow consists of:

• Choosing a batch and bringing to your manufacturing line
• Reading the instructions and ensuring youre working on the correct pieces
• Working by yourself or with a small team to complete the batch as efficiently as possible
• Preparing assembling sealing and packing units into boxes
• Moving the palletized boxes into the completed queue
• Finishing and closing the batch on the computer
• Rinse and repeat

--Whats the salary/wage range--

We start employees at $16 per hour and regularly review performance for consistency reliability and output. We believe in paying people for their results and effort so raises and cross-training opportunities are earned based on merit and performance not simply time in the role.

Pay periods are weekly which means youll get paid every Friday!

--Do I need a college degree--

No but we do want to see a high school diploma or GED.

--What are the hours like--

We operate on a consistent full-time schedule to keep production running smoothly:

• 40 hours per week
• Monday through Friday
• 8 hour workdays
• All shifts take place between 8:00AM and 6:00PM
  • This extended operating window allows for reasonable flexibility in start and end times while maintaining a consistent daily schedule.

Based on business needs overtime may be required. When scheduled additional hours are added evenly across the workweek (example: a 45-hour week would be 9-hour days). Overtime is paid at 1.5 your hourly rate.

--Are there benefits--

Yes we offer:

• 401k
• Health insurance
• Paid holidays
• PTO

--What is the environment like--

We operate out of a 30000 sq. ft. warehouse that is not heated or cooled. Management provides fans during the summer and heated sweatshirts during winter for what its worth but if youre not comfortable working in a non-climate controlled warehouse this is probably not the job for you.

--Do I have to lift heavy things--

Yes but not all the time. We do have multiple small-in-stature folks working here but on occasion were gonna ask you to move/lift heavy boxes and move heavy pallets via pallet jack.

--Are there free snacks and drinks--

Yeah buddy!

--Do I need manufacturing experience--

No you dont. We will train you but youre going to be expected to pick things up quickly and work very hard once you know the processes.

--What traits do I need to succeed-

1. Be smart as-hell. You will experience a lot of pain if you cant keep up intellectually. Its not like were geniuses or anything but we definitely dont have time to be arguing with not-so-smart people.
2. Be very hard working. If you dont enjoy hard work and high levels of production we are probably not the place for you.
3. Be very coachable. If you dont like getting blunt honest feedback (were always nice about it FWIW) and improving we probably arent a fit for each other.
4. Willingness to do whatever. Were still more or less a startup so everyone has to wear multiple hats. Sometimes everyone has to chip in to help get orders shipped out you know
5. Have a fun attitude. We like people with a great sense of attitude and overall happy outlook on life.

--What do I need to do to apply--

Please submit your information on the following page to apply:

promise to respond within 5-10 business days even if our answer is No.

There will be multiple steps in this process FYI including a long written application interviews with potentially a few different people and paid work test(s). Hiring the right people is really hard and very expensive if we do it poorly so we have to front-load the process. Im sorry about that and thank you for sticking with us.

Once youre in our pipeline though I would anticipate giving you a final answer within a few weeks depending on how it goes. We definitely dont want to string you along and as long as you do what we ask we promise to tell you yes or no and to not just ghost you (like everybody I match with on Tinder).

Thank you for your time and interest and I hope we can work together soon!
