I applied in-person. I interviewed at Amazon in Sept 2012
Interview
First before anything a lot of employees have to work through a temp service and a slim number get hired on directly through amazon itself. After you're hired by the temp service you have to perform your job to the best of your ability and hit a daily rate in either pack, pick ,stow etc.If you are up to performance and can hit the rate you might be eligible for employment through amazon. After hired you will receive benefits, a pay raise ever six months and will receive a raise up to $15 per hour as a tier one employee unless you get a promotion to tier 3 which I find honestly hard to do. Favorites come into play here and only very few employees get this change to advance within amazon.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Can I advance in here or will I stay where I am now with the company"
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
Very simple and straight forward. Drug Test and Valid ID. Very few forms to to complete and a very short waiting time. The staff was very professional and efficient. Helped you with any questions or parts that you were unsure about.
