Pros

Initially there were flexible hours and the base pay was competitive. There is a base raise of 3% every yea, and if you were able to transfer to be an EMT you would keep your VST salary which is usually more than an EMT with the same amount of experience.

Cons

Not enough shifts to go around. Over hiring of employees to make it impossible for part-timers to make ends meet

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.
