Smith Drug is a distribution center from SC, that has been in business for over 130 years. We are formally known as Burlington Drug Company. We have a "pick operation" that is very independent; once you learn the process you are driving your own ship. We are hi-tech- each picker gets a wrist computer (Gladiator) finger scanner and a headset. It’s a voice command system where it talks to you and tells you where to go for picking. We are looking for speed and accuracy. Full and part time positions available for first and second shifts.
