We are Anatomy Warehouse; a small, quickly growing company, based in Skokie, IL. We supply students, schools, hospitals, training clinics, biomedical and pharmaceutical companies, and even the film industry, with anatomical models and healthcare simulation products. We are a leading global distributor of the world's most advanced anatomy models, healthcare simulators, dissection specimens, and medical training products. Our small team is made up of a diverse group of enthusiastic, joke-cracking, hard-working, and dedicated people who care deeply about what we do every day. Our products help train and educate the next generation of healthcare professionals and, as a company, we are experiencing tremendous growth, which brings us to why you’re reading this!
We are seeking a part-time Warehouse Operations Specialist. This role is focused on special projects – light assembly, shipment preparation, packaging, processing returns, and assist with pick/pack as needed in our 12,000 square foot warehouse + office facility in Skokie. Accuracy of all operations is critical for our business, customers, and growth, so we are looking for a detail-oriented individual that’s eager to learn and work through projects efficiently.
Note: this isn’t just some “you’re a faceless part of the corporate machine” warehouse job (*cough cough* Amazon *cough cough*). You’ll be an integral part of our company’s strategic vision and in a role that is vital to our success!
At a minimum, the ideal candidate possesses experience and skills such as:
- Experience working in a warehouse environment.
- Experience with safety and compliance requirements and regulations.
- Experience with warehouse equipment (tablet, scanner, thermal printer, pallet jacks, etc.)
- A keen attention to detail.
- Ability to learn quickly, whether it is our systems, customers, products, or strategies, there is a lot to learn!
- A focus on solving problems wherever they arise and being comfortable pitching solutions to management.
- Ability to lift 50 pounds.
- Ability to be on your feet and active for several hours at a time.
- Desire to commit to this role, not just “get a job”.
Our Core Values define what is important to us and it’s important that all employees align with them. They are:
- Curiosity (contrary to popular opinion, curiosity doesn’t kill cats, we love cats)
- Caring (we care about ourselves, each other, this company, and our customers)
- Judgment (not the mean kind, the kind that aligns with things like common sense)
- Results (putting in hours to get through the day isn’t enough; we want to see the fruit of our labor be sweet!)
- Adaptability (like Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection, we adapt to environmental conditions to become our best selves)
More than your background, we look for the right attitude and aptitude in all our hires. As a small, expanding company, mutual, long-term fit is of paramount importance in all our hiring decisions. We invest heavily in all new employee training – everything from our systems, processes, products, strategies, tools, and more. For this and many reasons, it’s critical that we hire the right person the first time; please take the time to genuinely ask yourself if a demanding, high-paced environment where no two days are the same is right for you. Are you willing to go above and beyond to meet the needs of our customers, even if it means dropping a package off at FedEx on your way home because the driver has already picked up for the day? Are you ready to make quick and strategic decisions about package optimization? If there’s a better way to receive a product into our system, are you ready to pitch your idea to management? These may seem like odd scenarios, but that’s because we’re an unusual company, and we’re not looking for average; we’ve got aggressive growth plans and finding “forever employees” who want to share in our growth is critically important to us. We hope you’ll naturally agree, so if you want to move forward, and have made it this far through our epic job post, let’s talk next steps!
Compensation starts at $20 per hour. This is a part-time position, we are looking for someone who can work 24-32 hours per week. Schedule is flexible but our operating hours are Monday – Friday, 8am-5pm.
Other benefits include occasional afternoon darts, cornhole, or generally made-up games, company-sponsored outings, a pantry with more snacks than is reasonable for a team this size, and a fridge full of sparkling water, top-notch beer/seltzers and mediocre wine to be enjoyed responsibly. We’re not unbiased, but we think we have an awesome team of people who work hard, get sh*t done, and care. Simply put, this is a great place to work and contribute!
