Inventory Associate

Inventory Associate

If you are tired of being stuck in a dead-end job and have always wanted a position that travels, Advanced Inventory Solutions (AIS) has you covered!

As an employee at AIS, you will work in different grocery stores, gas stations, and retail stores within a large service area. Our inventory associates are critical in helping underserved regional clients. Think of your local grocery store rather than large chains such as Walmart or Target.

A difference in scenery makes the inventory associate position unique. Not only do we work with a variety of customers each week, but we travel to different cities too. Our teams utilize handheld scanning equipment to complete an inventory count, so our customers have an accurate and updated report detailing their current inventory. You do not need to be a math whiz or a product expert to be an inventory associate at AIS. Our entry-level training will give you the tools needed to become a top counter in no time.

The people who shop at our local stores come from a variety of backgrounds. We believe our team members should as well. Our teams consist of those who have struggled to fit in at other jobs and want that second chance to prove themselves.

We believe there are two types of people who will find success as an inventory associate: those who want to climb the ladder and work their way up to becoming a manager (our President started as an inventory specialist), and those who want to continually better their skills as a counter, our 'rockstars' who are essential to our teams.

Most of our managers have started in the same position that you are applying for today. Our managers strive to create a work environment with no micromanagement; a place where you can independently develop your skills and will not have someone always looking over your shoulder. You can even listen to music while you work if you want!
