Pros

- Currently have (2)differential pays for ($2+)weekends and ($3+)overnight at the moment until March 2024. So, you are making 24.31 /hr (normal pay) + $5 as EMT 911 pay. - Unlimited OT (can pick up shifts) but be smart about it. - Get some funny moments - Get people who thank you at times - Get to go places due to medical emergencies that other people can't in the city. - Work-life balance is great depending on your schedule - Benefits. - Shift rotations last 6 months.

Cons

- Not able to get the schedule you want, seniority rules. - No part-time. - No partner; well you're making $17.50/hr. - Turnover rate is high due to firing/quitting usually happening every 6 months. - Management will hold grudges. - Anything can happen

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.
