Pros

Great place to get experience. Interesting workload. Great way to meet new people. If you don't know the area of where you work you'll definitely learn.

Cons

Management/Supervisors: whole reason I left. Very little communication, told you're terrible at your job and don't offer advice or a way to get better. Back stabbing co-workers and my supervisor takes them at their word. Waste your time with meetings about your "poor" performance and don't offer ways improve. I was assigned a whole different position and job title after my training for my EMT position, which meant I needed to be retrained on my new position (Duty Officer). They do not work with school schedules. Hours are inconsistent. Part-time employees are lucky to work a 12 shift or more per week. Turnover is extremely high.

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.
