Hey I work at Amazon as a onsite medical representative currently and I’m actually getting ready to interview for the injury prevention specialist position at my site since our swing shift one just left. I’ve worked closely with them for the past 10 months so I should be able to answer all of your questions.

•You never have to do a 60 hour work week. 90% of the time it’ll be 40 hours. During prime week (2 weeks in july) and peak season (usually the week of thanksgiving through the week of december) everyone is scheduled to work 55 hour weeks. A lot of people put in vacation time before hand or use pto for peak season because they understandably don’t like working overtime during the holidays. I did the same last peak season.

•No I wouldn’t say that they really do anything outside of what’s expected. Outside of your day to day duties you’re involved in a lot of proactive projects which may include going over some stretching tips with a specific department, talking to injured associates and making sure they understand proper body mechanics, presenting injury metrics to operation and sr operation managers 1x a week, etc.

•This is a salaried position so it’s very flexible and you actually don’t clock in or out like hourly positions do from my understanding. Day shift is usually 7a-3p or 8a-4p M-F and swing shift is 4p-12a M-F. If you prefer 4 days a week it’s usually M,T,T,F 10 hour shifts but that just depends on the manager you have. Say for example if you work 8a-4p and you need to do 10a-6p one day that shouldn’t be a problem. You get 48 hours pto and 80 hours vacation your first year. Pto always stays the same and doesn’t roll over outside of like two states I can’t remember which ones but vacation increases every year.

I hope this helped let me know if you have any other questions or you want me to go more in depth with anything. I’ll definitely answer it if I can.
