My son applied to an a Amazon warehouse recently, after talking to some of our delivery guys about how it was to work for them. He applied online, and was immediately give a START DATE. No interview, no nothing, just come and work (pending drug and background check). We spoke to a "candidate support" person about this bizarre process, and she said that they don't mind turnover and they know the warehouse work is not for everyone
They prefer interested folks just come do the work, and see if the environment is for them or not. If not, no hard feelings, quit, and if you change your mind, you can come back again. You can choose to only work a few shifts, keeping any existing job, and see how it works for you. It's a bizarre process to us traditionalists, and my son decide not to try it, but I would not read much into the turnover rate with a process like that.
