Pros

You get paid on time (but not always the right amount) Free uniforms TONS of overtime Free snacks (at the hospital EMS rooms) Annual pizza parties (day shift only) Okay, maybe those aren't pros...THERE ARE NONE

Cons

Forced overtime High turnover Perpetually low staffing Lack of experienced employees, most are brand new EMTs Low wages, just a buck or two more than minimum wage Cutthroat management that will prioritize profits over patient care and employees Stuck in a rig 12-24 hours a day, NO STATIONS Running calls ALL day Management will shoo you out of the EMS room at hospitals to go run more calls, while you're writing reports, forcing you to write your reports after your shift technically ends Braindead dispatch that will have you driving circles around Tacoma all day in between calls

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.
