Want To Work For An Awesome Small Business?
Sweet! Because We Need You On Our Team!
Hey there, Mason jar fans!
We’re hiring a warehouse assistant here at the Mason Jar Lifestyle warehouse currently located in beautiful Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Interested? Perfect! Read on! Instructions to apply for the job are at the end of this page.
At MJL, we treat our employees like family and work together as a team to make this company succeed. We’re growing and want you to grow along with us!
We are looking for someone who is excited about this job and our business, not just someone looking for a job in general.
Why Do You Want To Work For MJL?
First, a little bit about us (if you don’t already know 
).
Mason Jar Lifestyle is a family run, small business founded and owned by Maggie and Ryan (who are the BEST bosses – and I’m not just saying that since they’ll read this!). They started this company in 2015 from a spare room in their house. But now we've outgrown our 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse and are moving to new location in Denver (near the I-25 and I-70 interchange).
Here at MJL, we foster a fun, flexible, and positive work environment for our team with a kickin’ sound system, real kitchen (with all the appliances!), big windows and plenty of light, staff lunches and happy hours, kid friendly policies and general hijinks. Want to get to know your future coworkers and find out why we love working here? Check out our bios HERE!
PLUS – if you like our stuff (and how could you not?!), then you’ll love your employee discount! Build up your own sweet stash of MJL goodies and never search for a last minute present again.
Tell Me About The Job!
- Part time position (20 hours/week) to start (with a path to full time)
- Initially the job will be working with our warehouse manager doing a variety of tasks such as:
- Helping us prepare for our move to the new warehouse - so it'll be moving boxes. Lots. Of. Boxes. And heavy (up to 50 lbs) boxes
- Packing and palletizing boxes
- Working on packing and prepping items for our Fulfilled By Amazon program and our wholesale customers
- Learning how to run our laser engraver
- Other duties as assigned
- Eventually you'll move into a shipping position at MJL. The shipping position at a basic level involves printing customer packing slips, locating the products, packing them into boxes, and printing the shipping label. Accuracy is super important, so you need to have very good attention to detail.
- Because we are a small business you will be asked to do other random tasks from time to time. For example, we have an in-house laser that you'll need to run when customized orders come in.
- This job requires lots of physical activity - walking the entire shift, helping carry in incoming deliveries, and the ability to lift and carry up to 50 pound boxes
- Pay starts at $21/hour
- There is a yearly bonus based on company performance.
- Workload will be approximately 20 hours a week for now.
- Potential to move to 40 hours per week as the business grows, if you want to.
-
Warehouse shifts will be 3 day/week - Monday - Friday with flexibility on the exact schedule.
- The warehouse is open 7 days/week with two shipping shifts every day.
- We're mostly a bunch of introverts at MJL, so we find that chatty personalities can struggle here.
- If you work standard 8-5 hours you will usually be working with a couple other people, but if you want to work evenings eventually you could be alone.
- We ship everything, so you won't be dealing directly with customers.
- The MJL Warehouse is currently located in Wheat Ridge near 44th and Kipling. We are moving in the next month or so to our new location at 44th and Delaware in Denver.
- We all have to chip into keep the warehouse clean after each shift.
- We’re a small business so when someone is sick or on vacation we have to pitch in to cover their workload. Ideally your schedule will be moderately flexible to help coverage.
- As a retail business, we need all hands on deck for the busy holiday season
- Mid November to Mid December - especially around Black Friday weekend.
- This job requires you to have a car, valid Driver’s License, and automobile insurance as driving your personal vehicle (to drop packages off at the Post Office, etc.) is required.
Who Are We Looking For?
Someone who is…
- Reliable
- Detail oriented
- High energy
- Excited to help the business grow
- Green minded
- Friendly
- A team player
- Flexible and open to changes
- Computer savvy
(can use apps in Windows, change printer settings, basic troubleshooting) - Self motivated
- A problem solver
