Pros

911 experience It says I need at least 5 words for "Pros" and I can think of none other.

Cons

Horrible co-workers that did everything they could to make things stressful and difficult. I worked there for a short time and I am not one to fold and break under extreme stress but I did here AMR Santa Clarita. There was zero room for error on the smallest things and no patience for employees, creating a toxic environment not conducive for learning. Oly 1 person there helped me out and she was a nurse visiting giving TB tests and she had to pull me aside and ask if I was ok and felt she had to talk to my manager after seeing how I was being treated. This did absolutely nothing because management didn't care. Quitting this job was literally one of the best things I've done with my life, looking back and remembering the stress they created gives my extreme anxiety to this day. The only person that tried to help me out instead of break me down was an AMR nurse giving TB tests for the day, she felt she had to pull me aside after what I would call a 6/10 stressful moment at AMT where I was being chewed out for no reason in front of the entire crew and ask if I was ok. She then proceeded to talk to a manager about the situation which did absolutely nothing.

Pros

Career growth opportunities, supportive coworkers, opportunities to learn and develop, ability to advance if you stay engaged and work hard

Cons

Healthcare/EMS can be demanding, long hours at times, stressful days, and workload can be heavy depending on staffing and operations. These things aren’t specific to AMR, that’s our industry in general.

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.
