Pros

I have worked for AMR for almost 25 years. I love my job and I an so grateful to the organization and all of the opportunities I have been afforded throughout my career. AMR is highly focused on improving culture and has made some great progress in this area. The team of field providers are professional and driven to do what is best for the patient and the community.

Cons

As with any organization, you will encounter a few bad apples along the way but thankfully that is the exception, not the rule.

Pros

Of all the California counties I’ve worked, this one is the easiest to get off on time when doing 911. I love all the baseball and basketball standbys. Free Giants tickets are awesome.

Cons

The homeless situation in SF is no joke. We really don’t do a lot of trauma or serious calls. It seems like most of those go to fire.

Pay is slightly better, but management is poor

Pros

Literally none. Don’t work here. Wait maybe the pay, it’s a little better than most agencies in the area.

Cons

Everything. Poor management. Same lazy, old school managers that ran Rural Metro into the ground. If you want non stop phone calls on your days off asking you to work and have zero work-life balance this is the job for you.
