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

Decent paid time off, a lot of experience.

Cons

Extremely low pay, people are leaving to waitress and work fast food. This is busiest system in the area and the lowest paying. Plan on being held at least an hour, more likely 2 hours, past the end of your shift. New hires forced on the road even when training officers say they are not ready. Numerous classes are required to keep certification, employees are not compensated for this time. Employees are not valued. You may not be able to take time off. inferior equipment.
