Warehouse Operations Manager

The first word that comes to my mind is challenge. To many it seems like a mundane job. In actuality, working as a warehouse worker makes one come across many challenges in a day.

Since I would be in a position of extreme responsibility, I would refuse to issue a tool to an employee if he refuses to sign for it. I would also report the said incident to a supervisor.

It is better to make more trips than end up breaking something.
