Pros

-They will pay you to learn and get your EMT license and they will hire anyone with a pulse that can read. -There’s a union that you can join to help you ensure that you’re treated fairly. The union reps are awesome.

Cons

-The pay is absolutely terrible. -You are a number and not an actual person to management. -The stations, ambulances and equipment are old, dirty and barely operational. -Working EMS in Tucson is sketchy and leads to burn out quickly. -There’s turn over rate is insane because of how employees are treated. -Supervisors and upper management will only talk to you if you get in trouble. They don’t care what your name is or anything about you. -AMR has a bad reputation for a reason. I figured I’d give AMR a chance and it was good for experience but that’s it. I’m not going anywhere here and neither will you.
