I applied online 10/19 and immediately received an email with contingent offer and link to fill out I-9 and schedule hiring event. I scheduled for the first available time which was on 10/23. The hiring event was held at the staffing agency which had all kinds of sketchy looking people outside and walking in and out. There was a line out the door to check in and if I really didn't need the job probably would have left just because the environment was so uncomfortable like a welfare office! The hiring event consisted of a group of about 15 individuals sitting in a semi-circle around a tv screen that went over what to expect with amazon position and then sticking a stick thing in our mouth for 10 minutes for the drug test. As the drug test was completed we were told to sit back in lobby then await our turn to be individually called up to take a picture for badge (I wish I would've known, I would have worn make up) and select an available shift. Then we waited to get called by other lady individually to take a copy of our proof of identification. They said to check email and that it could take up to two weeks for drug and background test. That same day I got an email from the background check place saying they needed additional info because addresses didn't match report (I recently moved and don't even get mail at current address which I informed is why it wouldn't show on background), I immediately called and provided info because I did not want any delay on hiring process. On 10/25, I received email that everything cleared and to schedule orientation/start date. The only date available was 11/7 which is almost two weeks away but I guess I can be patient until then. They sent an email with link to finish all on boarding paperwork and set up direct deposit which I've completed and now I just wait for orientation. Overall the process was simple and I appreciated not having to do a one on one interview because I get so nervous and sweaty usually for those. However I wish they'd do the hiring event somewhere else as the atmosphere in that staffing agency is worse than applying for food stamps!
