What are the responsibilities and job description for the Warehouse Representative position at Northeast Factory Direct?
Company Overview
With locations in Cleveland, Euclid, Macedonia, Maple Heights, and Mentor, Northeast Factory Direct is a leading supplier of furniture, hot tubs, cabinets, and more to Northeast Ohio consumers.
Starting in 1999 with the basic desire to eliminate high mark-ups on home furnishing, Northeast Factory Direct stays true to our aim by cutting out the overhead costs associated with traditional stores, buying in volume, and keeping the margins slim. Continually researching and adding only the products that fit our model, we have saved our customers money on everything from high-quality furniture to top-notch kitchen cabinets and countertops to industry-leading hot tubs and more.
