Pros

Busy system with a multitude of calls to gain experience. Lots of CEUs to earn.

Cons

Low pay, only affordable to live with overtime and running yourself thin. No shift differentials. Schedules are not flexible, they added additional hours to the schedule without compensation. Management is not there for you, they only care about protecting themselves and the money in their pockets. They have terrible attitudes and behavior. High turnover rates and fast burnout. Equipment fails constantly and when a truck needs to go out of services they don’t fix it half the time and put it back into rotation. Lack of PTO approval, no sick leave. Clear evidence of discrimination (racism, sexism, harassment, etc… not just from fellow employees, but from supervisors and management). Also known for retaliation again their employees. Unorganized and terrible communication.

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.
