Work environment: Mackey's is a fast paced retail environment that involves continuous interaction with customers, team members, and the ongoing evolution of the store. Responsibilities require active movements that include reaching, bending, and lifting. Product weights range from 5 - 60 lbs., with occasional variances due to product condition.
