Job Duties: Goodwill stores handle hundreds of donations daily, and we are hiring quick-thinking, hard workers to perform light warehouse work.

In this role, you'll:

Inspect, accept, track, and sort donations into the correct value stream.
Provide the best-in-class customer experience to donors, assisting them, issuing donation receipts, and ensuring every interaction is positive.
Operate power equipment to organize and store donated products efficiently.

Minimum Qualifications:

A positive, friendly attitude that fosters a great work environment.
Basic mathematical and literacy skills to support your tasks.
Ability to use essential job equipment and tools.
Flexibility to work varying schedules, including evenings and weekends.
Successful completion of a criminal background check meeting agency standards.
Physical capability to lift and move objects, including lifting up to 100 lbs occasionally, 50 lbs frequently, and 20 lbs constantly.
