I applied in-person. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 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"
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amazon (Inglewood, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Got the interview through a management company. Got a call a few days ago to come in for an interview at the warehouse location. When I got there there were about eight other candidates filling out their applications on the computer and a couple of people were waiting to either be interviewed or drug tested. Basically, all they ask in the interview is why do you want to work for Amazon and then they refer to your application and if you put you can't lift 50lbs or more you will NOT get the job.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Phoenix, AZ) in Nov 2012
