and while the pay wasn't the greatest, they had no problem working for the company and didn't feel disrected. We have an Amazon Fulfillment center in San Bernardino County, California that I posted an article about a month ago and the people there seemed to hate it. They felt they were constantly driven to meet tough demands for mediocre pay and less benefits than a Stater Bros center across the street from them which basically did the same type of work but paid better and offered better medical benefits for less. The guy knew because his brother worked at the Stater Bros center across the street which is how he knew. I've had several relatives who worked at that same Amazon Fulfillment Center (they all applied for jobs there when it opened having been familiar with the Amazon name and it was coming to their area) and offered medical benefits. The medical benefits turned out to be too costly based on the amount they were earning, and the best thing they could say about it was that it motivated them to find something better, and they did.
