I guess 24 roles could also mean 24 roles like lead packer, junior packer etc ...



It's no stretch to assume by "role" they might mean a job title, and that each role could possibly be being filled by 3 people (3 * 8 hour shifts for a 24 hours continuous operation), so now you're looking at 72 jobs. I've no idea if Amazon does run 24 hour operations though.


Looks like they mean 24 people at each center, as 24 * 55 = 1320.


I know almost nothing about how these places work, but I would've thought there would be way more people putting stuff in boxes to ship.
