Amazon.com, Inc. finalized plans to open its fourth fulfillment center in California. The 1.2 million-square-foot fulfillment center in Moreno Valley, CA will create more than 1,000 full-time jobs when it opens.
The company’s other sites are located in Patterson, San Bernardino and Tracy.
“We are excited to grow our presence in the great state of California, bringing more than 1,000 new full-time jobs to Moreno Valley to join the thousands of Californians we employ currently in our fulfillment centers in Patterson, San Bernardino and Tracy,” said Mike Roth, Amazon’s vice president of North America operations. “Amazon’s fulfillment center positions are full-time jobs that offer competitive wages, benefits, company stock awards, 401(k) and programs like Career Choice where Amazon will pre-pay the cost of tuition for employees to go back to school. We look forward to joining the community.”
Amazon fulfillment center jobs pay on average 30 percent more than traditional retail jobs and that doesn’t even include the stock grants that full-time employees receive. Amazon employees receive comprehensive benefits, including healthcare starting on day one, 401(k) and company stock awards. Amazon also offers full-time employees innovative programs like Career Choice, where the company will pre-pay up to 95 percent of tuition for courses related to in-demand fields, regardless of whether the skills are relevant to a career at Amazon. Since the program’s launch last summer, employees are pursuing degrees in game design and visual communications, nursing, IT programming and radiology, to name a few.
“The innovative spirit of Amazon fits well with the creative and entrepreneurial environment in California,” said California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. “The investment today means hundreds of new jobs in the Inland Empire.”
At the facility, Amazon employees will pick, pack and ship small items to customers like books, electronics or consumer goods.
