Up until a couple of years ago, they did get stock (Amazon doesn't give you options, but stock grants). Not sure if that ended when they made the salary $15.
If by 'logistics' you mean the people who pack/ship etc, warehouse work sucks, but Amazon has better salary and conditions than most others (pee bottle jokes aside).
If you mean the warehouse supervisors, analysts, etc, they get paid fairly well.
- dhbanes 5y agoWhy, exactly, is the pee bottle situation a "joke"?
- darkwizard42 5y agoParent comment is referring to any crude joke or non-inspired replies regarding the peeing in bottles situation (which isn’t isolated to Amazon alone)
- xnyan 5y agoThe injury rate of Amazon's warehouse employees is the highest in the industry[0]. Annual turnover is almost double that of the retail and logistics industries [1]. On top of that, as you note, the work sucks. I would call those conditions bad, and the turnover suggests that the pay is not sufficient to retain employees.

- TomSwirly 5y agoIt has the worst results in the industry - most injuries, most turnover. Where do you get these "better conditions" from?
- ornornor 5y agoUnions are usually a good starting point.
