Job description

Is working the night shift your jam? Do you enjoy having a variety of work to do at a fast-pace? Picking and loading cases of beer, wine and spirits for a top beverage sales company sounds like a great fit for you! Not only will you get in a great workout every night with the opportunity for overtime, but we're told our warehouse team has some of the best people to work with in Kalamazoo!

Eat. Sleep. Move Beer. Repeat: Our 3rd Shift Warehouse Associates work full-time, Monday-Thursday nights (That's right...a 3-day weekend!) from 6:30pm until all orders for the next day have been picked and our delivery trucks are fully loaded with beverages. We take great pride in choosing Warehouse Associates who can handle the hard work, take initiative to train on multiple jobs so they can move up in the company, and work great with a team.

Like a fine wine, Imperial Beverage has been getting better with age since 1933. We are a Michigan family-owned beverage distributor and we are passionate about helping others succeed at work and in the community. We only hire those with passion, integrity, customer focus and the desire for hard work. Once all the work is done, we also like to have fun and lots of it!

Will work for beer? Great! Working for a beverage distributor has its perks. Not only will you get to learn about and sample our products in this general labor position, but we also include health, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) match, a generous PTO policy, free uniforms, awesome company events like tickets to baseball games, and opportunity for advancement.
