Processing Center Roles
-
Shipping
Our shipping employees pull books, sort, package and ship customer orders. This fast-paced job requires you to pull books from shelves. You will be using step stools, reaching, bending & carrying books.
-
Shelving
Every day, our warehouses receive thousands of books. Our shelvers ensure a continuous, fast-paced flow, moving books from the receiving station to the appropriate shelves. Shelvers also remove aged books to make space for incoming supply.
-
Sorting
Sorters quickly inspect large volumes of books for quality, saving those that meet our standards and make sure the receiver’s station is supplied with books at all times.
-
Receiving
Receiving involves reviewing hundreds of used books per day then inspecting and rating them for quality. You will see all kinds of books, from a popular James Patterson novel to the latest in self-improvement non-fiction. Experience with 10-key is especially helpful for book receiving, but don’t worry, no 10-key experience, no problem.

Department Lead
As a member of our management team, the Lead is responsible every aspect of oversight, training, safety, reporting and time card management for their department. Depending on the department, you oversee a staff of 5 to 20 employees.
