We are hiring a reliable, results-driven individual to fill the role of Warehouse Associate in our Milford Interstate Batteries facility. The expected hours are Monday - Friday, approx 9:00 am - 5:30pm. The schedule will fluctuate during our busy season (Nov - Feb) when overtime is expected.
Let’s start with an introduction. We are Boston Battery Wholesale, a franchise of Interstate Batteries. Have you heard of us before? It’s ok if you haven’t, we don’t take it personal. To keep it simple, we sell batteries, but not just any batteries, we only sell the Interstate Battery brand which is considered to be the most reliable battery on the market and is the preferred brand among automotive professionals.
Not familiar with batteries? That’s ok, most of us weren’t either before we started working here, but now, we know more about batteries than we ever thought possible…..or even wanted to know! You can learn more about us at www.bostonbattery.net but for now, keep reading to learn about a career opportunity.
