What are the responsibilities and job description for the Seasonal - Warehouse Associate position at Russo Power Equipment?
Warehouse Associate - Seasonal
Company Overview:
To tell you who we are, let’s start with who we’re not. We’re not one of those power equipment dealers that treat customers like the next numbered sale. We’re not that parts and service center that forgets the true meaning of service. And we're definitely not that big box store with a limited supply of on-the-job expertise. Russo Power Equipment is the premier power equipment and landscape supply dealer with seven facilities located throughout the Chicagoland area. Our newest location is just west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin!
Russo Power prides itself in having honest, hard-working people that put their boots on and their best foot forward to create an authentic and diverse company culture for over 50 years.
Will you be the newest member to join our POWERful team?!
