Role Overview

The Senior QC Inspector checks incoming and in-stock furniture for quality issues at our Marion warehouse, making sure everything meets our standards before it ships to a customer.

• Track defect patterns by vendor or product to help hold vendors accountable
• Train and support newer QC inspectors
• Keep inspection checklists and procedures up to date
• Help Customer Care look into quality complaints from customers

• You know our checklists and paperwork inside and out within 90 days
• Warehouse leadership trusts your judgment on quality calls
• Bad inventory gets caught before it reaches a customer
• Vendors improve because of the issues you flag
