Every day you will work alongside a hardworking and fast-paced team to select orders from the warehouse floor and place them on the correct pallet.

Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation. Founded in 1921, the same passion that drove the Captain to create the world's first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry. Our creative and talented team of over 2,000 people across every corner of the world help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry. As our Material Handler, you don't need experience but you do need strong character. What does that mean to us? You pay attention to details because you care as much about hitting production goals as accuracy on your pallet. Safety matters. When you see something, you'll say something to a teammate to make sure that everyone leaves as they come. You'll show up.
