As the 2025 holiday shopping season approaches, Amazon plans to hire nearly 30,000 full-time, part-time, and seasonal roles positions in California and 250,000 across the United States.
Many seasonal roles also come with the potential to transition into year-round, full-time employment, which includes benefits such as health care starting on day one of employment, pre-paid tuition, 401 (k) savings match, paid parental leave, and more.
“I was a mom looking for a way to bring in income quickly, and Amazon’s seasonal hiring gave me that chance,” said Sharllet Vizcarra, senior HR business partner at SBD6 in Ontario. “A temporary job became a turning point — proof that short-term opportunities can lead to long-term success.”
