Interview
I completed the online application. The application process includes what I would call an aptitude/interest survey. I was given the opportunity to upload high school and college diplomas as a PDF file, which I did. Within 24 hours I was emailed a link to set up a telephone interview.
The phone interview was this morning. The interviewer was polite and pleasant. I believe *every* question that she asked is listed in the reviews here. I was so thankful that I came here before the interview. I had a chance to rehearse my answers in advance. The interviewer ended by saying I would receive an email within 24 hours to set up an in-person interview. The email came instantly and my in-person interview is scheduled for later this month.

Interview
Applied online, received and email for set up an interview over the phone. Did the phone interview and it consisted of basic questions the interviewer was very nice and didn't mind repeating questions. She talked clear and precisely. The very next day i received an email to set up a face to face interview. The interview is tomorrow. We keep you all posted
It was a fairly straight forward interview process. First there was a phone interview. Where they mostly asked questions related to safety and availibility questions that were all ready covered in the application. After that they emailed and called me to set up an inperson direct higher event at the fullfillment center. Once there I showed proof of my citizenship and we had the interview. Where the guy asked me a bunch of questions directly off the computer and he typed my answers in. The questions were mostly about safety, team work, and ethics. Next he took me to the "Other side" once you made it here they were going to higher you w/ a successful drug and background test. They got a drug sample we got some candy and they told us about the process and what was expected. Next we went on a tour of the facility. All the way I felt they were very honest approachable and looking for questions.
