I applied early October and received an offer mid November which was a total waste of time since I intended to earn extra money for Christmas and to earn money for college supplies and did not get hired since I pulled my application in late January. They informed me that, if hired, my contract could be anywhere between a day and about 3 months but if we made 3 mistakes, we would be layed off. Also, if employees did great jobs, they would be hired full-time but those occasions were rare. This truly explained how they could hire masses at a time-- contracts are very short! After receiving an offer, I was told to make an appointment for a 1- hour 'hiring event' that took place in some hotel conference room that did not have any signs leading up to it. In the hiring event, we chose our preferred shift, watched a powerpoint about things any one with common sense already knew, and took a drug test by a mouth swab. The drug test took less than a week to arrive with the results which was a bit odd considering they claimed it would take 2 weeks or more, there were a lot of us, and the drug test facility was located in Florida. It really made me question the legitimacy of the tests. Anyway, the next step was to schedule an in-person appointment to verify indentities. I live in Commerce. However the closest location I could schedule an appointment was in Glendale!! I had neither a car nor money to get there so I was forced to take a 2-hour bus ride in two buses. That day, I departed from my house around 1 pm and got home almost at 7 pm just to show some guy my social sec card and an ID in a hidden location that I had trouble finding. From there, 3 months passed and I was still unemployed. The whole process took about 4 months and A TON of their weekly emails stating I was still in the running and how I was 'not forgotten.' All of these emails were, oddly, automatically sent directly to my Spam folder. I definitely do not recommend applying nor working at an Amazon warehouse considering the long process and harsh conditions many employees seem to experience.
