4. Attaining a set schedule with days off.
5. Working in a fun, fast-paced, and physical environment.

Our operations run 24 hours a day, so schedules may vary. Team members often work weekends and holidays. The role is physically demanding; you should expect to be on your feet throughout your shift. Minimum qualifications include:

• Being 21 years of age or older.
• Having a valid driver’s license with proof of insurance and the ability to obtain necessary state licenses.
• Being able to frequently lift 40 lbs., with or without accommodations.
