Do not work for AMR!

Emergency medical technician (emt)

Pros

They pay is $1 over minimum wage. Sometimes you get those cool coworkers If you haven’t grown out of high school, this place is for you.

Cons

This is the worst job I’ve ever had in my 10 years of working. Supervisors and FTOs will say “You must be professional,” however they have zero emotional control and will get unprofessionally angry and treat you horribly. There is no work-life balance and if you have anything scheduled in your own life good luck having them balance around your life. Coworkers who are burnt out will treat you horribly, they pay you minimum wage. Fast food jobs are paying more than AMR. Even if you think you need to become an EMT as a stepping stone, there are better alternatives. They always wonder why they’re understaffed, but they don’t know how to pay or maintain employees. Not a good place, old employees and management will take their anger out on you for the most mundane reasons. Skip working at AMR as a stepping stone if you absolutely can. Other jobs will want to see you grow as a person, AMR will not.
