AMR reviews

Sadly this corporation is slowly losing ground every day. Honestly, they are very out of touch with their customers and as a company, there word is tarnished. Employees feel neglected and ignored and customers feel like there is a sense of entitlement on AMR's part, as if they are owed something. Managers are scared and afraid to make crucial changes. Supervisors lack critical thinking skills and if you do get a sharp one, they are ignored and scolded and when they try and make changes or just simply when they speak up when they notice problems. This company is ran by a corporation, and honestly ambulance transportation is a business of helping people. When you look at human beings as you would a crate of apples and some other comodity you have a problem. AMR does not care about you as a patient, only as another transport and another dollar..That sums up every problem this company has. They started AMR by buying smaler companies who cared about PEOPLE, and as they grew, they used the names of these companies to grow and slowly but surely lost the compassion and replaced it with stock options. Stay away from this place unless you want to be used up and turned into a cynical jerk...

- everybody is overworked and burned out, even managers and directors, even the ones who enjoy what they do, we all know the bottom line is our company saves lives and we give it everything we have, until we have nothing left to give - work can be sloppy and slipshod from everybody even the good people, theres just too much to do and not enough people to do it, nobody can give a problem the attention it deserves - very few if any opportunities for promotions and meaningful salary increases, even for the best employees - the most talented employees finally give up working hard for a promotion or fighting for a salary increase, get tired of having no work/life balance and burnout, leave after a few years - employees don't feel they have a voice (doing an internal opinion survey once every four years and not really changing what truly matters to employees doesn't count) dont know that this belongs in the cons section, but as a side note to the reviewers who say the corporate office in Denver has no idea what goes on in the field: i'm in corporate, and from a high level, we all know very well what is on the line and work our hardest to support as best we can because we truly do know lives are on the line. but if you want to go to the day to day struggles of the field, on the very detailed trenches level the criticism is true, doesnt matter if you're in HR or accounting or IT or benefits, it's very rare that corporate knows the day to day of what goes on in the field, whether its AMR or EmCare. the are many corporate people who care and want and try to know more because it helps do your job better, but you cant really know unless you are there day in and day out I guess, always seems there is more to learn but no gas left in the tank at the end of the day to learn what you should
