Amazon Part-Time job flyer
I recieved a flyer today for a part time job at 12.25 an hour. Told me to go to amzn.to/OmahaJobs. Nothing showed up for Omaha, however. (Wasn't going to apply, I'm a systems engineer) The Omaha-area address given is 11652 South 154th Street. Anyone know if Amazon has opened some positions in the ar...
