Pros

I was a paramedic for AMR-San Diego for a quite a few years. The local management was always responsive to our needs while working. They took time to get to know there employees on an individual basis. If an incident occurs that could lead to corrective action, they will talk to you to understand exactly what happened. If you demonstrate that you learned from said incident, they are likely to go out of their way to minimize the any punishment you receive. That is my experience anyway.

Cons

Their mission statement includes something like "Patient Focused" but in reality, they are more concerned with with winning and maintaining contracts. EMT's and Paramedics are more likely to be punished for something that puts AMR's contracts in jeopardy than putting a patient's life in jeopardy.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
