Pros

Flexible hours after 2 mandatory permanent shifts, room to work your way to paramedic position, stretchers that don't break your back, and friendly and helpful supervisors at certain locations.

Cons

Dispatchers that hound you every 3 minutes during calls, trucks that need to be transfered out of service due to breakdown, and 911 emergency calls after offtime.

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.
