Pros

Independence, flexible work schedules. Great life/work balance. Ability to move freely within the company. Lots of advancement opportunities. Plenty of overtime and sometimes double time. Time and a half $$$ after 8 hours on every shift. Serve a very large and diverse population base. Educational opportunities and scholarships for those who seek it. Limited management oversight?as long as you’re doing your job). Very well organized union.

Cons

Negative attitudes. A lot of the personnel feel entitled to earning a higher wage with limited education or time with the organization. The young mindset generate their complaints from the public industry counterparts who put in a substantially more amount of work hours. Health benefits and 401k contribution could use improvement (8/4% match).

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

AMR San Mateo is making huge strides in changing the Old Boy culture of EMS. The operation is collaborative, cares for its employees, and acts with accountability.

Cons

Although it's much better than it was, AMR San Mateo still deals with staffing issues, primarily for medics, and forced mandation is still in play.
