Wages start at $15 an hour, and full time positions include benefits from “day one”, including health, dental, vision and 401K. Williams talked about the job description for employees working in distribution centers. “They’re typically involved in fulfilling customer orders, so whether it’s receiving orders, storing goods on shelves, or selecting customer items from shelves and boxing them up and shipping them out,” said Williams.
