They ran ads for employee training in Fall River but warehouse workers were only getting $15/hour. Assumptions were at least double that amount but I told people that they don’t need to pay more money to get qualified help. People want a job with reliable companies.
I’m curious about the benefits that they are offered.

$15/hr is actually the low end for warehouse distribution work. Example Walmart locations actually pay in the $18/hr range to start in all but in the cheap ass southern states.. As for Truck drivers Walmart is one of the top paying company jobs out there. Their drivers make in the $100k range as a company driver with benefits
Usually most of these big B&M chains pay their store employees shit but the logistic backbone is usually paid very good. Amazon is actually one of the lowest paying large distribution networks out there. The reason being is they pull in people who wouldn't normally work at a warehouse and target those people. As result these people usually don't know their being underpaid..
