Pros

Good place to get experience. Even though the fire departments in our area is also ALS, you'll do the vast majority of the work. Its very busy so its good for the inexperienced to get there feet wet.

Cons

The pay is terrible, benefits are terrible, management ignores any issues you bring to their attention, and they go out of their way to avoid complying with labor laws. In CA, they got sued for not paying employees for missed lunch breaks and instead of compensating thier employees correctly, they spent 30 million dollars to pass prop 11, which gave them retroactive immunity from lawsuits.

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

As we continue to strengthen our culture, our Core Behaviors remain the foundation for how we lead, engage, and deliver results across our teams. These behaviors are not just guiding principles—they define the expectations for how we interact with each other, our patients, and our communities every day. At their core, these behaviors drive consistency and alignment across the organization. By prioritizing care, encouraging open communication, seeking to understand, collaborating on solutions, and holding ourselves accountable, we create an environment grounded in trust, respect, and shared responsibility. I am proud to be part of a great organization that exemplifies the core behaviors.

Cons

Success of the Core Behaviors depends on consistent leadership, clear application, and sustained reinforcement over time. This is a challenge that will take time.
