Day in the Life

Your day as a Warehouse Associate at Arrow Electronics in Everett begins at 7:00 AM sharp, Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturday shifts during peak seasons. Arriving at our W Casino Rd facility, you'll clock in, don your safety gear, and join your team huddle for a quick safety briefing and daily priorities. The air hums with the organized chaos of forklifts beeping, scanners chirping, and conveyor belts whirring.

First up: receiving shipments. You'll inspect incoming pallets of electronic components, scan barcodes into our proprietary inventory system, and verify quantities against manifests. Attention to detail is key here—spotting discrepancies prevents costly errors downstream. Next, head to order fulfillment, where computer terminals guide you to pick precise items from towering racks. Lifting up to 50 pounds is routine, so physical fitness pays off as you navigate aisles, bending and stretching throughout your shift.

By mid-morning, you're in packaging mode, custom-building boxes for fragile semiconductors or robust assemblies destined for Asia or Europe. You'll print labels, complete international customs forms, and select carriers like UPS, FedEx, or LTL freight. Lunch break at noon offers a chance to recharge in our modern break room, overlooking the Puget Sound industrial corridor.

Afternoons focus on shipping and teardown. Load trucks, organize storage zones per 5S standards (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain), and tackle value-added tasks like kitting or repackaging. End your day at 4:00 PM with a clean workspace audit, ensuring everything's primed for tomorrow. Overtime opportunities arise during high-demand periods, boosting your earnings while building stamina for advancement.

This rhythm fosters camaraderie—your team becomes like family, celebrating milestones and supporting each other through busy rushes. It's physically demanding but rewarding, with visible results from every box shipped.
