All Amazon jobs in the U.S., including seasonal roles, have an
average starting pay of $18 per hour, sign-on bonuses up to $3,000
and an additional $3 per hour depending on shifts in many
locations. Today’s seasonal roles come in addition to the 25,000
full and part-time Operations jobs announced for California
previously.
“We are proud to be offering a huge range of full-time,
part-time, and now seasonal jobs with great pay and benefits,” said
Alicia Boler Davis, Senior Vice President, Global Customer
Fulfillment. “Our seasonal hiring helps us deliver on our promises
to customers while also providing flexibility to our full-time
employees during busy periods. Joining Amazon in one of our
seasonal roles offers high-paying, part-time work, or a path to a
full-time position, with benefits like our Career Choice program to
help people advance their education and careers within Amazon or
beyond.”
Amazon values its seasonal employees, many of whom return each
holiday season year-after-year or choose to transition to full-time
roles within the company. Seasonal employees are essential to how
Amazon delivers for customers, doing important, rewarding work,
while earning income flexibility before the end of the year.
Jobs in Amazon’s operations network include stowing, picking,
packing, shipping and more. New hires will be fully trained and all
facilities follow strict COVID-19 health and safety protocols. A
job with Amazon can be the start of a future, long-term career
inside or outside of the company. Jobs are available in hundreds of
cities and towns across America. Interested candidates can see all
the regions with open positions at www.amazon.com/apply.
“Creating opportunities for increased seasonal work is key as
California and the nation continue to deal with interruptions in
the supply chain,” said a spokesperson from CalChamber. “Through
this effort, Amazon will help get more people back on the job this
holiday season. This, along with Amazon’s broader investments
during the pandemic is important to the California economy.”
Amazon was recently named by LinkedIn as the No. 1 company where
Americans want to work and develop their careers. Job advancement
and career building is an important focus for the company, and many
employees who have been with the company six months or longer have
been promoted. Seasonal employees will help support full-time
employees across over 250 new fulfillment centers, sortation
centers, regional air hubs, and delivery stations that opened in
the U.S. in 2021.
States with the greatest number of seasonal roles include:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and
Virginia.
