Opportunities to grow
Each area of the Fulfillment Center has designated Support Specialists who exemplify the pace and discipline required for impressive work. They are considered the very best at what they do. They take on extra responsibilities like training other team members, answering questions, upholding work standards, executing specific projects, and taking on supporting tasks. There is no minimum amount of time required for someone to move into this kind of supporting role. The Fulfillment Center is led by Team Captains who support the team by coaching employees, setting daily objectives, continuously improving processes and procedures in all areas, and coordinating with other teams within the company. There is no minimum amount of time that an employee must be with the company to become a Team Captain.
