The last time they opened one, based on job postings, it appeared to be 95% lower skilled and 5% engineers, process improvement and managerial types. Similar to a call center in distribution?

Looks like it when they say these jobs will pay 30% higher than similar jobs in retail "stores". PLUS fulfillment centers are just that... similar to a distribution center and stocking from merchants.
