"I like the fast pace and vendor relationships. There is always something to keep you busy. Creating new spreadsheets, and ways to keep all files in order. Constant change with new products and working within the warehouse environment. Sometimes the data can be overwhelming, but I just get up and take a walk to clear my head."
