Pros

Fun job as an EMT.

Cons

Fun job as long as you don't take too much pride in it, because you will be disappointed. The company is very penny pinching. Local management is good, but executive management is more about numbers than about people. As long as they have warm bodies doing reports and not wrecking ambulances, then they can meet their goals. EMT pay is not good. The union contract is bizarre. Ambulances are old.

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.
