amazon wins, it easy to get hired by amazon that even UPS AND fed EX have been forced to change there hiring practices like not doing interviews anymore during peak season. UPS and Fed EX refuse to give full time hours yet amazon offers it. Its easy to become a permanent worker with amazon by either being hired as permanent or going thru an easy process of being temporary to permanent. Fedex and UPS used to only hire temporary but because of coronavirus have resorted to trying to hire permanent during certain months like near the holiday season. So many people quit Fedex and UPS during coronavirus that these companies have been forced to change there hiring practices. How do I know? because I used to apply to these companies that would never give back a response and now they are begging for employees well during these months before holiday season.
