For the most part there were great people to work with (at least non-management).

They keep people who shouldn't have a job and force out the people who actually work but are so unhappy they leave.

Pros

The best reasons to work at American Medical Response is the support you get from employees at all levels of the organization, work with management to handle issues and learning more about working with the union,

Cons

Company has grown large and many of the employees do not know what the company values. The paramedics, EMTs and nurses work hard under a lot of pressure regarding the care and transport of patients. The work life balance is affected due to the schedules.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay. Some degree of freedom. Some repair shops are much better than others because management practices are not uniform and some bosses are better than others. Shops with multiple employees do much better.

Cons

Difficult place to work, little support, lots of responsibility, lots of blame on employees, little respect for employees from management. No proper guidance, no assistant with necessary goals. The work is tedious and never-ending because ambulances break down at ten times of the rate of normal vehicle and even other emergency type vehicles. You are always behind and overloaded, and if you try to slow down for other important and necessary reasons, you end up paying for it in the end. Never took an official vacation in 3 years, just extended holidays. You also bring home worries and stress because emergency calls never end and ambulances run 24-hours year round, which means you're necessarily on call and responsible for all damage and breakdowns to vehicles. EMR workers can be lazy, careless, difficult, and uncooperative at times.Very little camaraderie, which was quit surprising.
