Here at RGIS you count! Businesses make critical decisions based on their inventories and rely on RGIS to ensure that they are done accurately and professionally. As a part of the RGIS Team, you're an important part of the decision making process. By contributing to reliable inventory counts, you help our customers make better decisions to support the needs of their customers!

Your day-to-day:
Counting is a very active job - you'll be bending, kneeling and climbing ladders; so you're either on your feet or knees the entire inventory.
When counting, you can use a finger scanner to scan each item's barcode, which sends the information to a portable device at your waist, or use the device itself as a handheld scanner instead. Be prepared to do repetitive actions.
Accuracy is everything! You have an eagle eye for detail and pride yourself in making sure everything is correct.
Efficiency is everything! I know, I know'we just said accuracy is everything but speed and accuracy go hand in hand when you're a Retail Inventory Associate.
Location, location, location. You will never get bored with going to the same location over and over again. From a grocery or dollar variety retail store around the corner to a warehouse a couple hours away, you'll likely be at a new place just about every time you're scheduled to work.
