PAID work, PAID campsite, PAID bonuses in KY
Join us in beautiful Campbellsville, KY for the holidays! We are hiring now for jobs that will start in September & October and run through December 23rd.
Although no previous experience is necessary, these are temporary warehouse positions in a fast-paced industrial environment that are physically challenging. All positions require you to be on your feet for your full shift and require some bending, lifting, stooping and squatting. You may be receiving products on a line, stowing items onto shelves, picking customer order or packing and shipping customer orders. Some positions require the ability to climb stairs 30% of the time, and the use of a hand-held scanner.
At the Campbellsville, KY location:
- Full time schedules consist of four 10 hour shifts. Due to the demands of the peak season, there may be scheduled overtime for all departments and shifts. Scheduled overtime won't exceed 50 hours per week unless you request more overtime.
- All overtime over 40 hours in a week is paid at time and a half.
- Campground fees directly billed to Campbellsville Amazon facility. We currently partner with several local campgrounds in the Campbellsville area. Once we publish the final list of campgrounds, we will email it you. You may reserve your spot at any of those campgrounds.
All department and shift assignments are based on the business needs of the Amazon facility at the time you start. We do our best to meet your individual needs and preferences, but availability of certain shifts, jobs, and departments can change weekly.
The CamperForce Program season ends on December 23rd, though you may be released a few days earlier depending on labor needs at each facility at that time.
All positions require successful completion of a drug screen, background check and evidence of a high school diploma or GED.

Yep, from what I've heard Amazon seasonal work is exhausting.

I haven't heard anyone bragging about doing the Amazon thing but I have heard complaints about the 30 something supervisors down the old folk's neck to work faster.
They couldn't pay me enough to handle that. They want retired people to do this seasonal work because of various reasons but forget one important thing. We are mostly retired, tired and really don't need the money or grief from a young upstart.
I looked into it but didn't like what I heard about the treatment.

I'm sure it's a fit for some, but who wants to work 40 (or 50+) hours/wk when retired? Yuk!

It is work. Not all RV'ers are retired. Some are only partly retired as in they still do some jobs and this is one of them since they can work for a few months and build the bank back up. Do not put the work down unless you have actually done it. So you don't want to do it that's fine but others do want to and have done it and will continue to do it year after year.

I think I heard last year that it is minimum wage and they may even deduct something for the campsite & utilities.
Interesting that the OP has not come back with a comment.

I am going to be retired...that sounds like W-O-R-K to me. Think, I'll just look for a nice camp volunteer host positions.

Thanks everyone for your comments - wasn't expecting this much conversation so quickly! We do not generally publish our wage rates (we DO have competition) but I can tell you that they are well over minimum wage and higher than most retail I've seen. If you want to know the wage, apply & we'll interview you - we give you all the information during the interview. You get time & 1/2 for all overtime, and we offer shift differentials as well (night shift pays more).
We also offer a completion bonus - if you stay the full season - for each hour worked. We pay for your campsite & in two of our locations, we pay for electric as well (Nevada is the exception but campsite still paid for). We pay referral bonuses for any campers you refer to us & we hire and you get the Amazon Employee discount while you work for us on any Amazon products. We do our best to make sure our employees are treated well and try to inject some holiday fun as well.
I would be the first one to say that this work is NOT for everyone. It is physically demanding. Some of our folks love it, some have a hard time with the physical difficulty of the work and the hours. We do everything we can to make our CamperForce associates feel welcome and I know lots of our campers make lots of friends during their time with us. Again, the work is hard - we don't expect it to appeal to everyone.
