      Fred&Nan December 16 We did Amazon for 3 yes in KY and loved it. It's tiring and a long day on your feet but well worth it as you know it's short term. We were treated well.

        The Grassie's December 16 Thanks Fred and Nan.  We worked for Amazon in Haslet, TX about 3 years ago and we agree with your assessment.  We are curious to find out from anyone how the JC Penney's workamping gig compared with Amazon.  Thanks for your reply.

        Jenn Stokes December 6 Hi Murray, we do background checks and require resumes and contact former employment.  We only hire and keep technicians who provide excellent service.
    • Jenn Stokes
      KarenCharlesLilTaji December 6 You have to understand that most people on this page don't want to stay in one place very long. We like to move about the country. I think I've looked into your company, the company wants techs to stay in one place is that correct?

        Jenn Stokes December 6 We have some techs that are Workampers and will be moving around and some are stationary in a specific area.  As you know, people tend to move around with the seasons. :)
