Amazon started the Seasonal Camper program in 2010 and we enjoyed a successful experience in this endeavor! Each camper brought tremendous dedication, commitment, and positivity to our work environment leading us to continue on this path in 2012. We will be hiring for positions in Kentucky, Kansas and Nevada to start in October - December 2012. Complimentary campsites will be offered in addition to a base wage.
Where are the jobs located?
Campbellsville, KY: Campbellsville is located in the heart of Central Kentucky, nestled between the Cumberland Plateau and the Appalachian Mountains and offering the best of both regions. More than 22,000 people live in the area, with half of those in the county seat of Campbellsville. The area is home to a pleasant mix of agriculture, manufacturing and recreation. One of the area's greatest recreational attractions is Green River Lake, which offers some of the finest fishing and boating in the state, as well as camping, picnicking, horseback riding and hiking.
Coffeyville, KS: Approximately 10,000 people live in Coffeyville, which is located near the Verdigris River in southeast Kansas, about 75 miles north of Tulsa, OK, and 60 miles west of Joplin, MO. Coffeyville's most famous moment may have been the end of the Dalton Gang on October 5, 1892. The area is mostly rural farming community, and a short drive from many recreational parks and lakes. Just outside of Independence is the home of the Little House on the Prairie. Local cities host several festivals such as the Coffeyville Fair & Rodeo in Coffeyville and Neewollah in Independence.
Fernley, NV: Living in the Reno area, you have an opportunity to engage in a wide variety of activities and hobbies. The city and surrounding recreation areas offer great casinos for the risk-takers! A short drive away and you can enjoy water activities at the well-known Lake Tahoe and Truckee River, such as fishing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, parasailing, and kayaking. During the winter, the snow covered mountain slopes attract visitors to enjoy cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating and snowboarding.
