Amazon launches annual seasonal hiring event with thousands of Houston jobs
Just in time for the holiday, Amazon is doing a mega-seasonal hiring event, which includes new jobs available in Houston.
According to a release, the company is adding 100,000 new seasonal jobs across the U.S. and Canada, to complement its regular full- and part-time positions. Some 2,800 of those positions are in the Greater Houston area.
These seasonal jobs, which have become an annual event, offer opportunities for pay incentives, benefits, and a possible longer-term career should the employee be interested; or it can simply be extra income during the holiday season.
They offer a $15 minimum wage, and full-time employees receive comprehensive benefits on day one, including health, dental, and vision insurance, and 401K with 50 percent company match.
Jobs include:
- stowing
- picking
- packing shipping
- delivering customer orders
- managing people
- being a safety ambassador
- HR
- IT
- operating robotics
The jobs are listed on their website — "Earn up to $652 a Week," they say — and include locations in Houston.
New hires will be fully trained and all facilities follow strict COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
