Pros

They seem to have most of the big contracts, at least in our area. If you want to work in a 911 environment you don't have too much choice.

Cons

Management is very slow to react to changes in the market place. Employees are definitely not valued. Managers have been heard to openly say "we don't have to show appreciation because you get paid. That's your appreciation." I'm sure there are other companies with similar philosophy. This just isn't the best outfit around.

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.
