First step is, ISS made the huge mistake of telling hundreads of people that it is so easy for them to get converted to Amazon employees and never mentioned that Amazon was only in need of a certain number. The rest of the employees would then be put on a seasonal type of work only. I was out of work so getting hired by ISS and then released by ISS was not a burden or a loss for me as it was for many other people, who due to being misinformed by the ISS employess at the Chattanooga office, many quit their former jobs to come work full time for Amazon. Amazon, overall is not a bad company to work for, however; their biggest and dumbest mistake is the Integrity Staffing Solutions or ISS, that they have choosen to work with in order to staff their open and seasonal positions. I have never been late for work, never had any bad reports. In fact, these so called "coaches of ISS, have all written nothing but good reports about me meeting the weekly goals. If that is not enough, I have also excellent reviews from the Amazone floor managers and have been recommended for other duties whenever help was needed in another part or department of the warehouse. Mine is just one example of a few good people who worked their rear end off and got the job done right as we were expected to and even better. ISS also meesed up because they penalized me for my military duties. Amazon is a strong supporter of the military but Integrity Staffing is not. I gave my ISS supervisors more than a month advance of my military duty requirement and stated that I would need a day and half off for duty and travel time. My travel time was six plus hours driving. All my notifications and requests went completely unanswered until two days before the Friday I was supposed to leave early to drive. One of the ISS managers came up and began to harrass me about how come he did not have my military drill dates, and then second, demanded a formal reason and explaniation why I needed to take the Friday off. After I finaly worked out all that mess, I was told that I was good to go and cleared to leave early and be off the next day. Come to find out that was not the case. ISS decided to penalize me by pointing me 1 and half points for missing work on a Saturday that I had more than a month ago givem them notice that I would need off due to military duty.
There were orignally less than 300 full time jobs available that Amazone needed and yet ISS brought in over 600 and told no none that this was a seasonal job only. Now they are looking once again for people who are willing to work long hours for low pay and for a very short period of time.
