Poor work life balance. Any warm body with a license gets hired. - Paramedic AMR Employee Review

Pros

Tons of field experience. Always running calls. Busy 911 system. Good for new medics to gain experience and get their feet wet with 911 calls

Cons

Treated like trash by patients who abuse medicaid system and view ambulance as a taxi. 911 trucks also do IFT's which means you're frequently running a call from marking in service until going home. Supervisors are inconsistent. Management doesnt listen to employee complaints or problems. Several employees maintain their job after repeated poor performance just because there is no one to replace them.

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.
