Pros

Better pay (slightly/ hourly) compared to other agencies around my area. (doesn't apply to full-time positions as week totals accumulate less pay comparatively) all in all, it's not the worst place to get some experience, but I'd highly recommend anywhere else first. It's a transport agency first, though they do run some urgent calls or cover for other counties. if you're looking for an easy call after easy call for 12 hours straight then this is the place for you. If you want something to challenge your skills and an EMT or medic, find somewhere else.

Cons

Management is as big of a "mess" as it gets. To put it in perspective, the turnover rate at one point saw nearly all but 3 paramedics and about 75% of the EMT-Bs to leave within a 2-month span of time, including a few Lieutenants. This was all due to how the Captains and up treated the Lieutenants and below. Truly an absolute mess and be prepared to be overworked even by EMS standards.

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.
