More Good Reasons

Room for Profession Growth
We are committed to promoting from within whenever possible and because our headquarters and distribution centers are on the West Coast, with a heavy concentration in Southern California, opportunities for strong performers are available without the need to relocate. Prove yourself in the supervisor position and in time you could step up to a warehouse or operations manager then continue to advance your career.

Strong Compensation
In addition to competitive compensation and bonus opportunity, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision and life insurance, a 401(k) with company match after a year of service, and ten holidays per year. 

Industry Growth and Company Stability
The logistics services industry has averaged double-digit growth over the past 15 years, and Weber Logistics' growth in both revenue and real estate has been even stronger. Combine that growth with 124 years of business success, and you can be secure knowing your job is safe today, tomorrow and well into the future, and that opportunities will be available for proven performers.

Best-of-Both-Worlds
You'll enjoy the stability and resources of an established industry leader alongside the flexibility and nimbleness of a family-owned business that is not bogged down in bureaucracy. For example, while many 3PLs manual processes, we are a data-rich company with the tools, resources and detailed information to deliver critical reports and other information. At the same time, we run lean and have the flexibility to adjust and flex as our customers require.

Comprehensive Services
We offer a robust portfolio of services to meet all of our customers' needs (for example, vendor compliance as shown in the video). From warehouse and data management to EDI capabilities to in-depth reporting and a customer portal for supply chain visibility, we're positioned as the partner of choice for retailers.

Video: Weber Logistics can help customers bolster their retail partnerships by maintaining compliance with retailer routing guides. With a dedicated vendor compliance team, technology and process discipline, and experience shipping to almost 100 retailers, we've got the know-how needed to avoid chargeback penalties.

Keys to Success

Your main focus as Operations Supervisor will be around managing the workforce, productivity and customer compliance. You'll look at the details, but also keep in mind the big picture and how those details fit in. For example, you'll use available data to create action and creative plans and to identify and implement improvements. You'll work to improve operations as you also develop the staff. Clear and consistent communication throughout the day will be key.

In addition, to be an outstanding Operations Supervisor, you will:
  • Motivate the team and create a collaborative, team-oriented environment
  • Solve problems and remove barriers that could impact the team and/or warehouse's performance
  • Bring an entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic to the table
  • Leverage strong interpersonal skills and relationship building abilities
  • Excel both independently and as part of a strong team
