Pros

Great place to get experience. Interesting workload. Great way to meet new people. If you don't know the area of where you work you'll definitely learn.

Cons

Management/Supervisors: whole reason I left. Very little communication, told you're terrible at your job and don't offer advice or a way to get better. Back stabbing co-workers and my supervisor takes them at their word. Waste your time with meetings about your "poor" performance and don't offer ways improve. I was assigned a whole different position and job title after my training for my EMT position, which meant I needed to be retrained on my new position (Duty Officer). They do not work with school schedules. Hours are inconsistent. Part-time employees are lucky to work a 12 shift or more per week. Turnover is extremely high.

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.
