Pros

-Beautiful area in SB County -Great crews -Lots of 12hr units at all times -7ish 24hr stations -Good supervisors - Several cities of low socioeconomic status + large elderly population means a lot of good trauma and medical calls daily -I get more experience in a day of work in Santa Maria than several months in LA county

Cons

-We do force hires and mandatory shifts, the former being you could be asked to stay at work for another 12-24+ hours to fill empty slots as a 911 operation cannot go unstaffed -Critical employment status - not enough people means getting mandatory and forced all the time so your 12 or 24hr base schedule shifts plus the one overtime shift you picked up plus whatever else turns into a ton of work weekly

Pros

Career growth opportunities, supportive coworkers, opportunities to learn and develop, ability to advance if you stay engaged and work hard

Cons

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.

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.
