Pros

Decent pay for relatively little education. In Connecticut, an EMT can earn over $20/hr in a short period of time. Top step medics earn nearly $30/hr. I worked for AMR in CT in both full and part time capacities for over 10 years. Decent schedule and flexible time off. I was always treated well by management.

Cons

If you are full time and have to rely on the company for benefits it can be a little tough. Not terrible but fairly low end. The company is also a little slow to get up to date EMS equipment.

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.
