Not at all. Typically, warehouse-related jobs are where unionization starts. Not only that but there's long been a tradition that warehouse experience leads up the ladder in any sort of sales/manufacturing enterprise. That's another leg Walmart has over Amazon - they at least tend to promote from within. Amazon, on the other hand, positions itself as a valuable resume builder within the tech world - "work for us, it'll impress everyone after you get sick of us." But that doesn't extend to the people who don't code.
