  • Organization & Time Management: Managing workflow while maintaining clean and orderly work areas
  • Merchandising Awareness: Maintaining well-stocked and visually consistent meat displays
  • Operational Awareness: Following company policies, safety requirements, and regulatory guidelines
  • Physical Capability: Comfort with standing for extended periods, working in cold environments, and lifting up to 75 lbs.
