Amazon announced plans to hire 3,000 remote workers in 18 states.

Amazon is ranked sixth on the 2019 list of “100 Top Companies with Remote Jobs” for the number of at-home jobs the company listed in 2018.

Employing more than 90,000 people, Amazon is a Fortune 500 company and is ranked by Forbes as one of the most innovative companies in the world, among many more accolades.

The job listing for customer service associates, posted on March 4th, indicates that the role pays $15 an hour, provides health care coverage after 90 days of employment and offers overtime pay.




 

Amazon customer service associates earn $15 per hour, and the company requires paid mandatory training for any new employees.

The role generally consists of 20 to 29 hours per week of work, though that number may go up to 60 hours per week during large-scale events or peak seasons. Overtime pay is 1.5 times the base rate of $15 per hour.

After 90 days of employment, customer service associates become eligible for a healthcare coverage plan.  Amazon jobs info here

Amazon Remote Worker Job Details:

The part-time work-from-home role “generally consists of 20 to 29 hours per week, with the expectations to work up to 60 hours a week if there is a customer need,”

and specifies that workers cannot live in a zip code that is within 50 miles of an Amazon customer service site.

Amazon is paying $15 an hour, which is at the higher end for the types of customer service roles that we typically see.

 




It is also unique for this kind of part-time customer service role to provide health coverage, and that these kinds of positions can provide opportunities for upward mobility.

The customer service associate role includes supporting Amazon customers via phone, email and instant messenger and does not require any education beyond a high school diploma or equivalent.

Amazon indicates that it is looking for workers with previous customer service expedience, logical problem-solving skills and experience working in a fast-paced environment.

“There’s a lot of different backgrounds that could fit with this type of role, as long as you have a history of communicating and helping to solve problems and you feel like you’re able to work in fast-paced environment,” says an analyst.

“There isn’t really one background that fits, which is kind of nice because a lot of different people could qualify for this type of role.”

Amazon is also hiring for other remote positions, such as technical account manager, migration lead, front-end engineer, program manager and security consultant.

  • You can start part-time and work around your existing work schedule.
  • You can get started with absolutely zero experience.
  • You can work from home and be your own boss.
  •  You have the ability to make money almost immediately.
  • What is required: In order to earn 9X more than an Uber driver, you need to invest your time and money to become a loan signing agent.  Pretty straight forward.

3. Hilton, Remote Reservation Sales

Part-time job answering back-to-back calls for worldwide reservations. Open nights, weekends and holidays; flexible schedule required. (Glassdoor salary estimate: $10/hr)

This isn’t likely to be the job that gets you rich. At an estimated $10 an hour, and on a part-time schedule, you probably wouldn’t even hit the $21,000 annual salary you’ll find estimated on Glassdoor. But, if you needed part-time, work-from-home work at an entry level, it could make sense.
