Sounds like a change at Amazon Camperforce in KY.

I follow the blog of retired couple that has been doing amazon camper force at Campbellville KY location for a couple years now. They planned to do the same starting in mid aug and working till dec 23rd like they had done before..

Well they were saying amazon has informed them the start was mid Oct this year not mid Aug like in time past in-effect cutting in half the amount of time that was available to be worked and money to be made..

So they decided to pass on it this year..

just an FYI for those wanting to do this. Not sure how this effects the other locations.

  • Lwiddis,,, so glad you are able to clear that up for everyone. Apparently you have not done the amazon thing but you can read the website.

    All i was relaying was what the folks that had been in contact with amazon and had been doing this for the past 4 seasons, stayed all they way to the end, was awarded many time during the season for different production and worker appreciations programs, so they could be the ones that amazon wants to cut..

    good call..

    PS: and oh by the way the lady worked in gift wrapping as well and you dont see that on the website.. they also were sent to another location, Louisville, for one season to help the local staff.

    Sometime if you dont know, dont say. justsayin
  • Could also be saying we don't want that couple. Cutting hours of parttimers or seasonal workers is how it can be done.

    Their website says: "The program lasts 3-4 months in the winter, and your responsibilities will be in the areas of picking, packing, stowing, and receiving." Four months would be late August to just before Christmas.
  • Now I understand your coded post....work camping. Half the time..half the compensation...issue? Apparently the economics didn't...work out.
