Pros

Leaving for good is the only pro.

Cons

Mandatory holdovers 3+ hours, this place promotes people for sexual harassment, denies other good employees transfers because they might get a pay raise. Male counterparts get paid and treated better than the females. This place is abusive, toxic, and changes peoples lives for the worse. If you work a contract here they will force you to stay after it’s up and tell you to find a new job. Low staffing, terrible pay, terrible equipment. Frequently told “don’t even think about trying to swap your broken equipment out.” No proper FIT testing. Doesn’t carry proper PPEs even when they “fit test” you for it. I have not had a P-100 that has fit in my 6 years of working here. Do not waste your time here. Go work in the hospital, fire department, or any other company that possibly values human life over profits. This place can’t even carry soap or hand sanitizer.

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.
