What are the responsibilities and job description for the Warehouse/Delivery position at Bruce Furniture?
NEEDED: Warehouse/Delivery tech with old-fashioned VALUES
Are you someone that has:
A natural, happy enthusiasm?
A real love for LIFE, and a HEART for people?
A valid NE driver’s license and can lift 50 lbs?
If you have an old-fashioned work ethic and great people skills, then we need to talk!
I’m David Bruce at Bruce Furniture, and I’m looking for someone just like YOU. Even if you don’t have a ton of experience, that’s ok. We can teach you everything you need to know to thrive here.
The problem is: I can’t teach you to have humility and kindness in the workplace.
I cannot train you to have a servant’s heart toward the customer you are serving.
I cannot give you the ability to relate to people and treat everyone equally, with respect.
I need someone who brings those qualities with them to this job interview.
Because the things that really matter are those things you bring with you: the natural abilities and attitudes of a top performer.
- INTEGRITY: To you, doing the job RIGHT isn’t just a nice goal. It’s a duty. That’s just how you roll.
- EXCELLENCE: You always step up and go the extra mile for your customer. Because that’s how it’s done right.
- HEART: You genuinely like people.
I don’t hire people if all they have is skill; I hire the people who have the highest work ethic and most eagerness to become exceptional at what they do. And then I make sure they get the training they need, make the money they deserve and then insure they have a schedule that works their FAMILY.
Some Requirements:
- You are responsible and show up on time
- You are able to lead in the delivery and set-up of furniture
- You can lift heavy things and know how to work with hand tools
- You’ve got the friendliness and personality to interact with our customers.
- You’re not afraid of responsibility
- You adapt to situations.
- You’re a problem solver!
Our goal is to be the BEST. Not the cheapest. That’s why I happily admit and I say it out loud:
“I put my employees FIRST. Customers come second.”
Why?
“Because happy employees MAKE happy customers.”
It’s that simple! And that truth has led us to the pride we take in having the best team, the most knowledgeable people, basically the happiest furniture store in town! Happy to work smarter and harder and make more money than the rest.
Do you like to work smarter AND harder?
Do you want to make more money and enjoy more freedom?
Great! Then here’s how you’ll start:
Benefits:
- 401(k)
- 401(k) matching
- Employee discount
- Health insurance
- Health Savings Account
- Paid time off
- Depending on experience you will earn between $18-$20
I realize that someone like you already has a job, but, this job is way better! -partly because I understand your problem, and I strive to deliver what great employees really want and need:
- Freedom to spend the time needed on your work to do it RIGHT, and enough time with each customer to make sure their experience is delightful!
- Enough time off with your family. Because an overworked, burned out employee is not the goal.
- Better pay, more opportunity. I believe in paying you more than average salary to start, and let you rise to the occasion and BE that level of employee. And then give you a path to rise as high as your skill and desire drives you to go.
JOINING THE TEAM:
This is a truly amazing job for the right person. No one here ever says, “that’s not my job.” We work together. We help each other, and we all succeed.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS:
- Enthusiastic
- A multi-tasker
- Engaging and energetic
- Outgoing
- Proactive; You look for the things that need to be done.
- Trustworthy – don’t need micromanaging
- Work well with a team
- Work well alone
- A great sense of humor (the humorless will be fired!)
- Genuine heart for people
EDUCATION:
You don’t need to be able to do calculus and speak French.
But morons, whiners, lazy people and drama queens need not apply.
ATTITUDE:
Like we said, you can’t teach the right attitude. You’ve either got it, or you don’t.
Speaking of which, we greatly value thoroughness and the ability to focus, so we’re putting a special word in this paragraph to weed out sloppy people, half-hearted people, inattentive people and people without a sense of humor. Anyone skimming through job descriptions and blindly blasting out resumes won’t see this line. But you’re actually reading this job description, aren’t you? Nicely done. Put the word, “#HAPPYHERO” in the subject line of your reply, and I’ll give your resume the same respect you’ve given this job description. I’ll actually read it! Any application that does not have #HAPPYHERO in the subject line, will be printed out, wadded into a ball, and tossed into the trash via sky hook, nothing but net.
If you have the personality and natural abilities I’ve described AND can check off all those requirements? -reply via email and give me your story.
I’d like to hear a story, maybe about how you’ve gone above and beyond for a customer in the past or about how you handle working with teams of people. Maybe a story about what this job might mean to you and your family, and about what your goals are. Resumes don’t tell me much. Stories tell me who you are.
Once I get it I’ll read it over, and contact you if I’m ready to talk.
If you haven’t heard back in a week, you didn’t get the job. Sorry about that. But if you’re the right fit, this really is a place you can shine.
An amazing new opportunity might be an email away! I look forward to meeting you.
