Pros

AMR is a Global company..actually changing its name recently to GMR (Global Medical Response). Almost always Hiring, Often many extra hours available.

Cons

As employees come and go quite often, dont expect management to stand up for you. Its easier to fire ( or temporarily take you off schedule) and hire someone else at a lower pay than to train and keep present employees. Expect to deal with a lot of crap from Hospital staff, patients, nursing homes staff and the public in general. You as a professional are expected to take the crap thrown at you and go about your way..telling management will do you no good as they will either do nothing or say that they will and no do anything. For instance...a patient is to be picked up at Butterfly Nursing facility at 9 for a 9:30 appointment...the patient is not ready..you advise the staff, they moan and groan and take their time or give you attitude. Now you arrive late at the appointment to take more crap from the office staff. Happens daily but you have to take it. Most of what AMR does is patient transport to and from appointments or discharges from a Hospital to a facility. If you get on a 9-11 crew it is not as bad. .but these crews are usually harder to get unto and reserved for personnel that have been with AMR for a while.

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.
