Pros

12 hour roating shifts, no mandatory, dispatch staff and management above average environment. Multifunction dispatchers- Fire, EMS, 911 EMD and EFD calltaking, nonemergency dispatching and calltaking.

Cons

Classic private service expectations. Always short staffed, benefits are ok, pay "highest" in the region, the region as a whole is underpaid. Comparison to benefits at 911 dispatch centers, 911 benefits and pay are way better. Dispatching for EMS is a nightmare bc the EMS side is a nightmare in itself. Dispatching for the Fire side is ok, but they lack consistency themselves but they demand consistency from everyone else.

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.
