Pros

Busier urban systems offer a way to get experience for entry level and newly certified providers, opportunity for lateral relocations, generally always hiring, largest ems company in the US.

Cons

Less than wonderful benefits, treatment of employees, and pay. Lots of burnt out providers, the corporate strategy is great for shareholders and the business but not the employees. Amr is to EMS as Walmart is to a neighborhood store. Not all operations and providers are the same across the board but the general consensus heard is either work here for initial experience and move on or come in at a management level.

Pros

Career growth opportunities, supportive coworkers, opportunities to learn and develop, ability to advance if you stay engaged and work hard

Cons

Healthcare/EMS can be demanding, long hours at times, stressful days, and workload can be heavy depending on staffing and operations. These things aren’t specific to AMR, that’s our industry in general.

Pros

AMR San Mateo is making huge strides in changing the Old Boy culture of EMS. The operation is collaborative, cares for its employees, and acts with accountability.

Cons

Although it's much better than it was, AMR San Mateo still deals with staffing issues, primarily for medics, and forced mandation is still in play.
