The posting

  • $20.00/hr base salary
  • Onsite at our Chicago, IL Warehouse M-F 8:00am-5:00pm
  • TEMPORARY role November 1- November 30, 2026

No two days in our warehouse look the same — and that’s exactly how we like it.

One day you might be gathering and staging materials for a brand-new Potbelly shop getting ready to open. The next, you could be packaging individual items for shipping to existing shops, cleaning and organizing the warehouse, or helping prep millwork and materials for finishing.

If you’re mechanically minded, enjoy working with your hands, and tackling unique projects, you’ll fit right in. Our warehouse team keeps things moving behind the scenes and plays a huge role in helping our shops succeed.

This isn’t a sit-at-a-desk-all-day kind of job. It’s hands-on, fast-paced, physical work where teamwork, organization, and problem-solving matter. If you like variety, staying busy, and seeing the direct impact of your work, you’ll probably love it here.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
