Amazon is offering a steep increase in pay for some of its frontline workers who choose to put in additional hours during the upcoming holiday shopping season.
Amazon has long offered a host of incentives to attract more workers during the all-important holiday shopping period.
But Avalanche stands out for its lofty premium of $10 per hour, which is nearly 50% higher than the $20.50 average hourly pay Amazon's frontline workers receive.
That was a major bump from last year when Amazon said it would hire 150,000 additional frontline workers during the crucial holiday shopping period.
It is simply "one of many programs" that Amazon offers its frontline workers during the holidays, and it's only available at select facilities, Stephenson added.
