Pros

You get to help people. If you want to. Generally, if the crew isn’t genuinely touched by someone else’s tough situation, they can roll their eyes, say something snarky to the “patient” and leave. It’s very unfortunate. But if you genuinely like helping people in need- you can do that.

Cons

The culture of harassment, negativity, misogyny. Most people hate working here, the pay is a major issue. But it’s more than that. My orientation class was told by instructors (yes, more than one) that we should plan on getting injured at work- that it wasn’t a matter of if but a matter of when. Umm. . . No. There are currently lawsuits going on with the previous manager (recently removed) and several women who had to fight for light duty during at risk pregnancy. They were told they would have been fired if it hadn’t been against the law. Seriously. . . Management— get a handle on 2019.

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.
