At Amazon, $15 is just the start
All of our employees earn at least $15 an hour—and more in areas where the cost of living is higher. In fact, our roles in fulfillment and transportation offer an average of more than $18 an hour. We invest in employee career growth and offer regular, full-time employees benefits like health care on day one, and fully paid family leave.

We’re committed to our employees’ personal success—whether they’re here for a season or a career.
