Pros

Busy EMS system which is priceless experience.

Cons

Where to start? I worked there for 4 years, was an FTO, etc. AMR does not care about their employees, and only the money made. You'll soon see it. Also, prop 11 puts it out there. They don't want you to take breaks at all during 24 hour shifts, they try to pay you as minimal as possible and cut corners wherever they can to save money. Most of their field emts and Paramedics lack any credible knowledge and are pretty terrible, to be honest.

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.
