2011 Nationwide Distribution Center Compensation Survey

 We would like to invite you to participate in the 2nd annual survey of compensation for key Distribution Center positions. The survey will be conducted annually for corporations nationwide across all industries. We were extremely pleased with the response we received last year with 299 participants submitting data for 127,574 employees in more than 100 major metropolitan areas.

This survey covers Total Cash Compensation in the form of Base Pay, Actual Variable Cash Earned plus Target Bonus as a percentage of base pay. In addition, In-Hire Rate is collected for applicable positions. Data is collected on an incumbent basis to ensure a complete picture of all compensation elements and true percentile analysis.
