Pros

Decent pay for relatively little education. In Connecticut, an EMT can earn over $20/hr in a short period of time. Top step medics earn nearly $30/hr. I worked for AMR in CT in both full and part time capacities for over 10 years. Decent schedule and flexible time off. I was always treated well by management.

Cons

If you are full time and have to rely on the company for benefits it can be a little tough. Not terrible but fairly low end. The company is also a little slow to get up to date EMS equipment.

Pros

AMR San Mateo is making huge strides in changing the Old Boy culture of EMS. The operation is collaborative, cares for its employees, and acts with accountability.

Cons

Although it's much better than it was, AMR San Mateo still deals with staffing issues, primarily for medics, and forced mandation is still in play.

Pros

As we continue to strengthen our culture, our Core Behaviors remain the foundation for how we lead, engage, and deliver results across our teams. These behaviors are not just guiding principles—they define the expectations for how we interact with each other, our patients, and our communities every day. At their core, these behaviors drive consistency and alignment across the organization. By prioritizing care, encouraging open communication, seeking to understand, collaborating on solutions, and holding ourselves accountable, we create an environment grounded in trust, respect, and shared responsibility. I am proud to be part of a great organization that exemplifies the core behaviors.

Cons

Success of the Core Behaviors depends on consistent leadership, clear application, and sustained reinforcement over time. This is a challenge that will take time.
