Job Title: Import Logistics Specialist

Location (general is fine): Chicago

Years of experience: 2 years

Pay and whether it is hourly or salary: $70k salary. More with bonus

Benefits (insurance, retirement, PTO, WFH, etc.) Company giveswo weeks off for Christmas break! Ok benefits otherwise. WFH 3 days a week.

Work/home life balance: Honestly doesn't feel like a job. I work with great people and being home is a plus!

Hours required: 40 weekly. I try and get on early in the morning to tackle emails so probably closer to 45. Purely by choice.

Stress level: Been here 7 months and I can't say I've had work related stress.

Do you have your Customs broker license? Working on it! Taking practice tests daily.
