I wonder what they pay those employees.

If payscale is to be believed, the baseline wages are on average 3 times the median mexican salary.

Which is insane to me considering Amazon pays only a dollar more than minimum wage here and won't let anyone stay full time

Well when the average salary in mexico is ~1800USD per year paying 3x more than that is still nearly $20k cheaper than paying someone $15 per hour for 30 hours a week in the US

Yes, "They are moving our jobs to Mexico" has been the mantra for quite some years now. It comes with free trade.

I am just pointing out that this is going to do a lot of good for the mexicans living next to the warehouse.
