Money over patients - Paramedic AMR Employee Review

Pros

Opportunity for growth within the company and opportunity to do standbys and work events outside of the typical ambulance response.

Cons

Poor leadership beyond the field supervisors. I saw my division supervisor more often in the bathroom than anywhere else - never on the floor where ambulances were deployed, hardly ever talked to crews except when a problem arose. Private ambulance is a business. If I keeled over dead they'd put a nice little black band over their badges for 10 minutes, but fill my spot with another body just as quickly.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
