Pluspunten

Depends on where you work. Some areas are low call volume others are very high. Good equipment and protocals, again depends where you work.

Minpunten

Where I work staff is young very unproffesional and don't seem to care. Very low pay compared to other EMS operations in local area, including 911 and transport companies. Medics are poor overall with exceptions. Not all crews inspect their trucks prior to going into service and leave dirty trucks and station for oncomming crews. No supervisor. Very poor management, disorganized unproffesional attitude and appearance. Was told starting pay was $19 an hour with time and a half for over 40hrs. Not true pay was prorated to 11.88 hr because I work a 24hr truck. Which means I make the same pay as a 40hr a week medic and I work an average of 56hrs per week. Benifits are the worst that I have seen among EMS companies. No formal continuing education or any ongoing education that I have seen. Overall a lot of smoke and mirrrors from a large corporation. If you are a true proffesional and care about your job and the public image that you present avoid AMR. unless you feel that you might make a difference. Then you will just get laughed at.

Pluspunten

There’s a good workforce here with employees who are well united on issues a strong sense that the company is actually pushing toward a positive future in terms of operations. Ambulance fleet seems to be getting good upgrades and call volume (in most areas) is manageable. There is also a good amount of OT available with bonuses/incentives available. Matching 401k is nice and health benefits are very reasonable.

Minpunten

For being such a large operation, the pay rate seems to be lacking as of right now. Most employees with adult responsibilities are having to rely heavily on overtime/incentives just to have a semi-comfortable lifestyle outside of work. Uniforms definitely need improvements and training for new EMTs seems a bit lackluster. The morale can be low at times also due to the company being write-up happy (for lack of a better term). Lack of 24 hour units and proper posting locations makes for a somewhat harsh work day as well.
