Pros

Good benefits package, excellent overtime potential, decent equipment, dedicated partners are some of the reasons that I liked working for AMR.

Cons

The bidding process was different within our own division thereby resulting in location moves for home bases that can change your commute by over 50 minutes one way. Non paramedic level management involved in ALS decision making can sometimes be a hinderence.

Pros

Lots of great EMS talent, many great employees that all truly care about patients and providing care to those in need. Many people here don't care about working the fire dept side of EMS and that is the only reason why AMR has talented paramedics and EMT's. Depending on the area, you could run some pretty great calls with some pretty great people. Good place for learning, but definitely NOT a career company.

Cons

Long hours, consistently held over scheduled shift hours due to lack of resources, poor management with even poorer leadership skills. Management utilizes "mandatory shifts" (which means you're required to work a shift and will get written up if you refuse) as a form of staffing so be prepared to work upwards to 4000 hours per year depending on where you're working. Insanely low pay results in immature and inexperienced people that cause problems, similar to the high school job at Zumies that we all had. Not uncommon to see some employees routinely make fire able offenses and continue to have jobs, while others are constantly under the scrutiny of management. Human Resources is a joke at best. Spends more time creating conflict than resolving it. Tends to eye roll and talk aggressively during meetings which is a little unprofessional for a Human Resources employee. Too much turnover with employees and management. Makes it confusing when you have an issue and need someone to go to with it. The list goes on and on with the cons unfortunately....
