Pros

The first thing you notice about AMR is that they're always hiring. This is mostly due to a high turnover rate coupled with constant expansion. They treat you well coming in the door, paying for training, uniforms, and even certifications. You get to travel a lot, and management treats employees with a decent amount of trust.

Cons

This isn't the most glamorous or rewarding place to be an emergency services provider. The turnover rate is so high that anyone who has stayed on for more than two years is practically a senior employee, and the pay isn't as great as it is with most fire departments or hospitals.

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.
