Amazon VP says warehouse workers get the exact same benefits as he does
On Wednesday, Amazon opened up 10 warehouses around the country to job candidates as part of a massive hiring effort.
It received a staggering 20,000 applications.
Business Insider visited the online retailer's Robbinsville, New Jersey location and saw hundreds of people lined up and waiting to apply.
Speaking with some of the prospective candidates, we found that the company's benefits package proved to be a major draw.
"We invest in benefits from day one," VP of HR John Olsen told Business Insider the same day. "My benefits package is the same as a benefits package here at the fulfillment center. I think we've got an egalitarian process."
After our visit, Amazon corporate communications manager Nina Lindsey sent through a full breakdown of Amazon's benefits:
"Full-time employees at our fulfillment centers offer highly-competitive pay, health insurance, disability insurance, retirement savings plans and company stock. The company also offers up to 20 weeks of paid leave and innovative benefits such as Leave Share and Ramp Back, which give new parents flexibility with their growing families. Leave Share lets employees share their Amazon paid leave with their spouse or domestic partner if their spouse's employer doesn't offer paid leave. Ramp Back gives new moms additional control over the pace at which they return to work. Just as with Amazon's health care plan, these benefits are egalitarian - they're the same for fulfillment center and customer service employees as they are for Amazon's most senior executives.`
"Part-time employees who work more than 20 hours per week receive benefits, including life and disability insurance, dental and vision insurance with premiums paid in full by Amazon, and funding towards medical insurance.
"Both full-time and part-time hourly employees are eligible for Amazon's innovative Career Choice program that pre-pays 95% of tuition for courses related to in-demand fields, regardless of whether the skills are relevant to a future career at Amazon. The company has built dedicated Career Choice classrooms at more than 25 fulfillment centers to make it easier for employees to go back to school by offering classes onsite."
Hourly employees accrue sick, personal, and vacation time on a set schedule. Benefits are different for part-time employees working primarily at sortation centers.
