Benefits and Relocation Assistance
There are many things to consider when deciding on your next employer. At Amazon.com we offer employees the chance to work with great people, on exciting projects, with a ton of opportunity for growth.

But we also recognize that Amazonians have a life outside of work and need a break every once in a while. That's why we provide a full range of benefits for you and your eligible family members. While the benefits may vary slightly from location to location, these are the basics for full-time, U.S. employees:

Health Care:

  • Health-care and dependent-care flexible spending accounts

Time Off:

  • Salaried employees earn two weeks of vacation time in the first year, three weeks of vacation in the second

Relocation Assistance:

Amazon.com may provide relocation assistance for certain positions. (Ask your interviewer whether the position is eligible for relocation assistance.)

We have partnered with a world-class relocation service provider to make sure your relocation is as stress-free as possible. Our service provider will assist you with real-estate and destination services to find just the right new location for you.

Dependent upon the type and level of position you're offered, Amazon.com may also provide you with the following benefits:

  • Packing, unpacking, and moving of your personal goods and car
  • Fully furnished, temporary housing, which will include maid service, utilities, and parking
  • Storage for your personal items
  • Rental or real-estate tours to assist you with finding a new residence
  • A rental car until your personal car arrives
  • Relocation allowance to assist you with incidental expenses
  • Payment of part of the tax liability incurred with most of your taxable relocation expenses

Please talk to your recruiter during your on-site interview about the specific relocation benefits available for the position of interest. Note: relocation benefits are not available for hourly positions.
