HERE'S THE SCOOP

Are you the right person for the job?

Want to join our sister-owned, health-based, planet-loving, family business? Looking for a part-time job working for a global natural personal care products brand based on the Southside of Chicago? Are you good working with your hands and able to lift 50-60 pounds? 

Not only are our natural personal care products (lifestinks deodorant and lifestings bug repellent) more effective than our chemical counterparts - they are MADE IN BEVERLY on the Southside. For the past 16 years, the factory has been in our home. We live above the shop. 

ABOUT THE JOB

The Production and Fulfillment (Shipping & Receiving) Team Member is cross-trained to both make and ship our natural personal care products - and then the job grows from there!

If you are hired to work in fulfillment, this includes processing, picking, boxing and shipping orders of our Duggan Sisters products to retail and wholesale customers. In both roles, you will keep track of inventory levels.

This role requires the ability to do detailed work with your hands, multi-task efficiently, and the ability to lift 50-60 pounds.

SUCCESS STORY

One fantastic previous employee was here for 3 years from her junior year of high school through her first year of college. When she got back to school the first fall, her classmates and teachers agreed she had the coolest, most interesting summer job of anyone in her class!  She went from filling bug repellent to learning bookkeeping - with lots of growth in between. Now she is spreading her wings in the world of finance with invaluable entrepreneurial studies experience under her belt.
