The process is so simple really. The warehouse is built by various companies, who then lease out space. Lots of warehouse and distribution businesses around here. The warehouses here are big job providers for the good-ole boys who like to do a man's work. Inside worker warehouse positions range from forklift, sorter, packer, scanner, belt, and warehouse supervisor.
To get all these nice goods, furnitures, food, etc. around the country, we have the trucking companies, who ship pallets of goods to one warehouse to the next. The warehouses receive the shipment, packed and stacked in some way, and then its sorted, marked as inventory, and labeled to where it's future destination will be. That's it. The goods are brought in by a truck, sorted and stored in the warehouse, and leave on a completely different truck, and that's the distribution end of it, thus why its called "warehouse and distribution".
The truckers who leave the goods, give a paper called a manifest of goods, to the warehouse office area where the office documents the incoming, and then the office prints the new labels where the goods are going. The rest of the office personnel are human resources, who do the hiring process, the payroll, who keep up with employee hours and schedules, and the middle managers who do nothing but take orders from corporate, and then bark orders down to the lower warehouse supervisors. There's sometimes 2-5 different warehouse companies in one single large warehouse building, sharing the space.
Sometimes there's security, but that's always a completely different company, and an easier company to run, who trains people, sending them to surrounding job site locations.
Corporate office deals with getting the business into the warehouse, company equipment or property, state and city regulations, disciplinary action and policy, etc. The point of this post is to help understand the business, cause well, if anyone wants to start a business or take a job, insight is useful. I've seen some pretty young middle management to corporate, late 20s, early 30s. No job is incapable of handling, only tricky part is getting management positions, usually based on the buddy buddy system. I was going to start cleaning contracting business once, so I'll write on that later.
