Amazon.com will add hundreds of seasonal positions to its operations in Central and Southeast Indiana for the holiday season.
The online retailer announced Thursday that it would hire 80,000 seasonal employees in its fulfillment and sortation centers around the country.
Some of those positions could lead to regular, full-time roles with benefits, according to a press release from the company.
"So far this year, we have converted more than 10,000 seasonal employees in the U.S. into regular, full-time roles and we're looking forward to converting thousands more across our growing network of fulfillment and sortation centers after this holiday season," said Mike Roth, Amazon's vice president of North America operations.
The company now has more than 50 fulfillment centers in the U.S. and five locations in the state.
Amazon says it will have more than 15 sortation centers by the end of 2014.
