For those in full-time roles, Amazon provides paid tuition assistance to help employees earn college degrees or certificates.

Amazon is also looking forward to welcoming back many familiar faces, as many seasonal employees return year after year. The holiday season is a crucial time for Amazon, creating numerous job opportunities for those looking to earn extra money or start a career with the company.
