Will Amazon hire you if you quit before?

Yes, Amazon may hire you again if you previously quit, but it depends on the circumstances of your departure. If you left on good terms, such as voluntarily resigning or taking part in Amazon’s "Pay to Quit" program, you could be rehired. However, certain factors might affect your eligibility to return:

1. Voluntary Resignation

If you quit voluntarily and left the company on good terms, such as for personal reasons, career growth, or relocation, you are generally eligible for rehire. Amazon maintains a rehireable status for former employees who left without any performance or policy violations.

• What to Do: If you resigned voluntarily, you can reapply through the standard hiring process or check with HR about your eligibility to return.

2. "Pay to Quit" Program

Amazon’s "Pay to Quit" program offers warehouse employees a financial incentive to leave if they feel disengaged from the company. However, employees who take this offer are typically not eligible for rehire under the same employment terms.

• What Happens: If you accepted the Pay to Quit offer, you are generally ineligible to rejoin Amazon in the same capacity.

3. Termination vs. Quitting

If you were terminated for performance or policy violations, it is less likely that Amazon will rehire you. However, if you quit and had a clean performance record, you may still be considered for future positions.

• Terminated Employees: Employees who were terminated for serious reasons, such as policy violations or poor performance, are usually not eligible for rehire.
• Quitting Employees: Those who voluntarily left with a positive employment history may have a good chance of returning.

4. Internal Rehire Policy

Amazon follows an internal rehire policy, meaning your eligibility for rehire might depend on your prior employment record, exit interview, and feedback from managers. You can typically find out if you are eligible by checking with HR or when applying for a new position.

5. Reapplying Process

If you are eligible for rehire, you would need to go through Amazon’s standard application process again, including interviews and background checks. However, having previous experience at Amazon may work in your favor, especially if you left on good terms.

6. Corporate Roles vs. Fulfillment Center Roles

In corporate roles, Amazon may be more lenient in re-hiring former employees who left voluntarily for career advancement or personal reasons. In fulfillment center roles, policies like Pay to Quit may have stricter restrictions on reemployment.

Summary:

• Voluntary Resignation: You’re usually eligible for rehire if you left on good terms.
• "Pay to Quit": Typically makes you ineligible for rehire in similar roles.
• Termination: Rehire chances are low if you were terminated for performance or policy violations.
• Reapplying: You'll need to go through the standard hiring process, but previous experience may help.

Always check Amazon’s rehire policy and your specific situation with the HR department if you’re considering reapplying after quitting.
