Staff Management | SMX

You can get a job at SMX but they don’t care about you. I worked there for a seasonal job and towards the end of peak AMAZON offered VTO (voluntary time off) for people that had already clocked in, and had told all employees including temporary employees from SMX that they will be paid 4 hours according to California law. SMX did not pay us and told us that it was only for AMAZON employees regardless of what the California law is. I agree with Aaron, they are not very efficient when it comes to getting direct deposit on time, and fixing the time cards. I still have not gotten paid for the hours I worked after giving them my time card correction. I am very dissatisfied with SMX and they are putting themselves at risk for a lawsuit.

If you want to work SMX will get you a job, however they they don’t care about you. I’ve worked for Amazon through SMX numerous times and every time the process is a pain in the ass. They over-​book shifts so that 14 people think they are starting a job when only 5 will be accepted. They suck at getting direct deposit to start, last time it took 8 weeks.
Recently I had two friends apply there at the same time as me, we were looking to work the same shift and carpool together. We got the same shift and confirmed our jobs 5 days after the interview. The day we were supposed to start smx called and told the 2 others their backround checks weren’t in and they had to wait another week to start. The next week my shift wasn’t available.
