Amazon Work-at-Home Virtual Call Center Agents
Based in Seattle, this giant of the e-commerce business operates many sites in the United States, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom, employing more than 30,000 people.
However, its work-at-home operations, though they have expanded in recent years, are still relatively small and focused on customer service. Amazon's home-based workers are typically hired on a seasonal basis. Here's a bit more about Amazon's work-from-home opportunities.
Amazon recruits virtual call center agents, call center managers and human resource professionals to work at home as well as a few tech jobs.
Qualifications for Virtual Call Center Agents
All of these work-from-home call center jobs require residency in one of a specific list of states. Some may require on-site training at a specific location as well. See the list of states below.
Home call center agents for Amazon.com generally need at least one year of experience working in customer service, but more is preferred. Likewise, a high school diploma is required, but some college is preferred.
Applicants need familiarity with online shopping and research, excellent computer skills and an understanding of Microsoft Office, email and chat technologies. Prior experience working independently in a virtual environment is preferred for all work-at-home positions.

Pay and Hours for Amazon Home-Based Jobs
The hourly pay of a home-based customer service rep is about $10/hour with performance-based bonuses and incentives. Hours may vary and both full- and part-time agents may be required to work shifts that include days, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and occasionally over time.
For the salaried positions, pay is based on experience.
Applying to Amazon
Amazon divides its job postings into its hourly, fulfillment jobs, which include its home-based customer service agents, and its other salaried jobs, which includes the customer service manager and HR jobs. To find work at home positions, sort positions to virtual locations in the Amazon jobs website.
Call center applicants need to successfully complete a pre-employment assessment and criminal background check and be able to participate in on-site paid training. In the fall, Amazon recruits more heavily for customer service jobs, which are usually temporary.
