Job description

Looking for a job? Look elsewhere.

Looking for a discipline - at a place where your brain, your standards, and your work ethic actually matter? Read on.

We're Laudisi - the people behind Smokingpipes.com, Peterson of Dublin, Caldwell Cigars, and a handful of other brands you've probably never heard of (but our customers are obsessed with). We receive hundreds of shipments a week from distributors and suppliers around the world. Everything that arrives needs to be counted, verified, and entered into inventory with zero margin for error. Because when we get it wrong on the receiving end, it cascades through merchandising, shipping, and eventually lands on a customer who notices everything.

Your role? You're the first line of defense between what shows up at our door and what we promise our customers is in stock.

What You'll Actually Do

Unload, sort, unpack, and verify incoming inventory against packing lists and invoices with the kind of accuracy that keeps the entire operation running smoothly.

That's the standard. Every shipment. Every day.

You'll Also

• Identify delivery errors or variances and reconcile quantities before they become problems
• Receive reconciled items into our internal inventory software with precision
• Accurately stock warehouse shelves and label and bin locate new inventory
• Help organize inventory in a way that makes the Shipping Department's job easier
• Keep the warehouse clean and orderly when things slow down
• Use web-based scheduling software to manage your schedule and receiving tasks

You'll Thrive Here If

You're not looking for easy. You're looking for right. You show up on time because that's what professionals do. You pay attention because the details matter. When the count doesn't match the invoice, it bothers you - and you dig in until it's reconciled instead of shrugging it off. You don't need someone standing over your shoulder to do good work; you do it because anything less pisses you off. You don't just want to be good at this. You want to be the person your team relies on. The one who doesn't drop the ball. The one who makes everyone else's job easier because you handled your part right. This is a landing pad, not a parking lot. People who excel here don't stay stuck; they grow into lead roles, inventory and operations positions, and other parts of the business as they demonstrate judgment and initiative.

You Can Expect

• Compensation and benefits: Competitive compensation; health, dental, and vision insurance; six paid holidays; generous PTO; 401(k) with 1:1 match up to 4% and no vesting period.
• Perks: casual dress (jeans and t-shirts), tuition reimbursement, referral bonuses, year-end bonuses, fresh fruit daily, paid luncheons, and regular company events.
• Growth: real opportunities to take on more responsibility as you master the work, improve processes, and show you can own outcomes—not just tasks.
• Culture: a passionate group of "Laudisians" who like the products, like the customers, and like working with other people who actually care.
• Reality check: we work around tobacco and smoke; many of us are enthusiasts. You'll often be in smoking areas, so you'll need to be comfortable with that.

What You'll Bring

• A real intolerance for sloppiness — when the numbers don't add up, you notice and you fix it.
• Solid mathematical aptitude — you can count accurately and catch discrepancies.
• Reliability: on time, on site, able to work days and some weekends. Ability to stay organized, follow procedures, and maintain a clean workspace.
• Curiosity about pipes, cigars, or really any other "deep hobby" worlds where the minutiae really matter.
• Comfort being on your feet and lifting up to 50 lbs regularly.
• A valid driver's license and the ability to pass a criminal background check.

The Bottom Line

This job isn't for everyone. It's for people who take pride in doing things right, who get frustrated when standards slip, and who want to be part of a team that actually holds the line. If you're reading this and thinking, 'finally, a place that gets it' - apply below. If you're reading this and thinking, 'Wow, they sound intense' - we probably are. And that's fine. There are plenty of other jobs out there. But if you want to be part of something where your effort matters, where quality isn't negotiable, and where showing up means actually showing up? We're building something here. Come help us build it right.

Applicants being considered must pass a criminal background check. Our hiring and employment practices are based solely on job related criteria, and we do not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by law.
