Staff Management is hiring as many as 1,500 new warehouse facility employees or more for its client Amazon.com in Coffeyville, KS to work through the holiday season. At least 400 of these new employees will be needed for weekend work between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. As a bonus, new employees automatically become eligible to win a brand new 2005 Chevrolet Aveo through a performance-based raffle.

"We have had a good response to our hiring efforts in Coffeyville, KS and for that reason we are adding new bus routes directly from Tulsa, OK to Coffeyville and back so that employees in the Tulsa area can easily commute to and from work," said Lisa Brown, Director of Operations for Staff Management.

Hiring is currently underway and provides full-time positions (40 hours a week with the possibility of overtime), as well as part-time shift positions on the weekends that are well-suited for parents, college students, weekend workers, or as a second job for anyone interested in an opportunity to make great holiday money.

Ms. Brown said that employees are being interviewed, hired and bused into Amazon.com's Coffeyville, KS warehouse facility from Tulsa, OK and Joplin, MO.
