Pros

Independence, flexible work schedules. Great life/work balance. Ability to move freely within the company. Lots of advancement opportunities. Plenty of overtime and sometimes double time. Time and a half $$$ after 8 hours on every shift. Serve a very large and diverse population base. Educational opportunities and scholarships for those who seek it. Limited management oversight?as long as you’re doing your job). Very well organized union.

Cons

Negative attitudes. A lot of the personnel feel entitled to earning a higher wage with limited education or time with the organization. The young mindset generate their complaints from the public industry counterparts who put in a substantially more amount of work hours. Health benefits and 401k contribution could use improvement (8/4% match).

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.

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.
