“We are proud to be offering a huge range of full-time, part-time, and now seasonal jobs with great pay and benefits,” said Alicia Boler Davis, Senior Vice President, Global Customer Fulfillment. “Our seasonal hiring helps us deliver on our promises to customers while also providing flexibility to our full-time employees during busy periods.

Seasonal workers are essential to how Amazon delivers for customers, doing important, rewarding work, while earning income flexibility before the end of the year.
