Some great co workers, occasional legit calls, okay intro to the 911 world. Pay has gotten a lot higher, but so has area cost of living. Best thing might just be the ability to transfer to another location where they do primary ALS and get some real experience (likely for less pay)
Kontras
Absolutely no way to progress in skills or challenge skills due to county protocols/city contract. Been this way for decades and will not change ever. Breeds complacency and burnout. Indifferent/distance management.

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.

Thank you for the 5‑star review! We’re glad to hear you’ve found strong growth opportunities, supportive coworkers, and room to develop. We also recognize the challenges that come with the demands of EMS, and we appreciate your commitment through it all. Your advice on continued investment and open communication is valued and will be shared.
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.
Kontras
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.
