Accomplishments
For a year at Als Sporting Goods I ran and Managed a weekend crew of employees to help the warehouse get a head start for the week ahead. We specialized in Internet Shipping, picking product, staging product, and inventory audits to ensure accuracy and reliability for our buyers.
At CROWN Beverage and Packaging I worked with a small team of forklift operators in the shipping and receiving department loading and unloading semis, working with BOLs to make sure what was placed on the trucks was the right product and accurately accounted for. Since we were working with aluminum cans, we worked hard to ensure product was clean and up to FDA standards before shipping.
