Pros

They pay is $1 over minimum wage. Sometimes you get those cool coworkers If you haven’t grown out of high school, this place is for you.

Cons

This is the worst job I’ve ever had in my 10 years of working. Supervisors and FTOs will say “You must be professional,” however they have zero emotional control and will get unprofessionally angry and treat you horribly. There is no work-life balance and if you have anything scheduled in your own life good luck having them balance around your life. Coworkers who are burnt out will treat you horribly, they pay you minimum wage. Fast food jobs are paying more than AMR. Even if you think you need to become an EMT as a stepping stone, there are better alternatives. They always wonder why they’re understaffed, but they don’t know how to pay or maintain employees. Not a good place, old employees and management will take their anger out on you for the most mundane reasons. Skip working at AMR as a stepping stone if you absolutely can. Other jobs will want to see you grow as a person, AMR will not.

Pros

I have been with AMR for 10+ years and I have to say, it’s an outstanding organization for anyone looking to advance their career in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). One of the standout features is the abundance of career advancement opportunities—they really invest in their team members with comprehensive in-house training programs that help you build skills and certifications at every level. Whether you’re starting out as an EMT or aiming for paramedic roles or even leadership positions, AMR provides clear pathways and support to grow professionally. What I love most is how AMR operates nationwide, giving you flexibility and variety in your work environment. From high-paced urban emergency responses to specialized disaster relief teams, there’s a diverse range of settings to match your interests and skills. This not only keeps the job exciting but also allows for transfers or new challenges without leaving the company. Overall, AMR fosters a supportive culture focused on excellence in patient care and employee development—if you’re passionate about EMS, this is a top-notch place to build a rewarding career! Highly recommend.

Cons

No real cons to speak about.

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.
