Pros

If you're fresh out of emt school it is a good place to get experience under your belt. You can learn a lot if you pay attention. Not a place to stay for long term, you'll get burnt out quickly due to the long hours and high call volume.

Cons

Low pay, supervisors are unqualified and don't seem to know what they're doing, you can get in trouble for almost anything, always getting held over at least 2 hours, equipment is broken, lack of communication between crews, supervisors, dispatch, and vst's, extremely high call volume and low staffing.

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.
