What Petersburg & Prince George employers hire us for
Distribution drives the Tri-Cities list: 21 warehouse associates and 10 pickers and packers, with 6 office placements behind them. Warehouse pay here has sat in a tight $18.20 to $18.50 band, above the $17 typical on Richmond-branch warehouse placements, so an offer well under the local rate will likely be slow to fill and hard to keep.
