Zingerman’s Mail Order Seasonal Warehouse Crew

Description

Zingerman’s Mail Order is the online and catalog shop for Zingerman’s. We ship great food and gifts all across America, everything from bread and cheese to cured ham and tinned fish.

The holidays at Zingerman's Mail Order are exciting, fast-paced and a lot of fun. We grow from a crew of 100 to a team of nearly 500.
People come to work here from all walks of life. Moms, dads, students, retirees, landscapers, artists. Some people are in between jobs. For some folks, this is their first job. Some join us for the season, while others may wish to seek long-term opportunities. Every reason for joining is welcomed. Many of our current team members began their journey with us as part of our holiday crew!

We'd love for you to join us!

There’s a lot that goes into getting our delicious food prepped and shipped to our customers and it takes a whole team to make it happen! Here are just a few of the roles you might find yourself in:

• Pickers carefully select each item in an order
• Route Runners keep things moving by delivering ingredients like olive oil and coffee cakes to the pickers
• Checkers (attention to detail required!) make sure every box is packed just right, with the correct items in perfect condition
• Packers are masters of three-dimensional Tetris, fitting everything neatly and safely into shipping boxes
• Stackers load those boxes onto the truck, playing another round of Tetris to make it all fit
• Cheese mongers slice massive wheels of cheese into perfectly portioned wedges

And that’s just the beginning - there are many more things that make our warehouse run smoothly!

Zingerman’s Mail Order warehouse is located at 610 Phoenix Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108. We are on the AATA bus route.

We keep things simple. There’s just one main requirement for this job: you need to be available to work at least three shifts per week through the week before Christmas. The rest is flexible, and the details are below.

You’ll choose from available start dates, and we’ll walk you through everything when you come in - no need to stress if it sounds a little complicated at first!

• Day Shift: 9:00am–7:00pm
• Night Shift: 8:00pm–6:00am
• We operate 6–7 days a week, so there are plenty of opportunities to build a schedule that works for you.
• We're happy to welcome folks looking for part-time hours, full-time schedules, or even overtime.

• You’re a natural problem-solver. If something’s not right, you’re not satisfied until it’s fixed
• You can handle repetitive tasks without mentally checking out
• You enjoy the challenge of following standard procedures while still adding your own thoughtful touch
• You prioritize punctuality - running late isn’t your style
• You have reliable transportation to and from work
• You’re up for new experiences. Something tells you that working during a lively holiday season in our bustling warehouse, surrounded by 10,000 breads and coffee cakes, might actually be kind of fun.
• You take feedback well - you hear it, absorb it, and use it to get even better
• You’ve got a deep well of relentless, outrageous enthusiasm and energy - and maybe even a love for food
• You’re kind, considerate, and easy to work with (We are too!)
