Good flexibility - EMT-B AMR Employee Review

A culture accepting of all people. The corp. just went public and gave every employee stock options. The size provides opportunity for advancement and options to transfer to other locations. Good equipment and pay. Excellent training department. A great place to gain experience.

Some would prefer to run only 911 calls, but AMR runs hospital to hospital calls as well as 911.

There’s a good workforce here with employees who are well united on issues a strong sense that the company is actually pushing toward a positive future in terms of operations. Ambulance fleet seems to be getting good upgrades and call volume (in most areas) is manageable. There is also a good amount of OT available with bonuses/incentives available. Matching 401k is nice and health benefits are very reasonable.

For being such a large operation, the pay rate seems to be lacking as of right now. Most employees with adult responsibilities are having to rely heavily on overtime/incentives just to have a semi-comfortable lifestyle outside of work. Uniforms definitely need improvements and training for new EMTs seems a bit lackluster. The morale can be low at times also due to the company being write-up happy (for lack of a better term). Lack of 24 hour units and proper posting locations makes for a somewhat harsh work day as well.
