      I worked at American Medical Response full-time

      Pros

      Not your typical IT support role - variety of projects you get your hands on supporting computer aided dispatch. Basically you work 8 full hours a day which includes lunch so in essence you work 7 unless you are required to stay or come in for emergencies.

      Cons

      Supporting tough books can be monotonous and the crews are rough on the them so failed drives are a common occurrence.

      Advice to Management

      Do not meddle in the daily grind.

      Pros

      Management isn't bad, has good pay and benefits, new and great equipment to be used, just starting out in Indy so has room to grow

      Cons

      Short staffed, busy shift, don't recognize good employees very well, do one thing wrong and you may get fired without warning.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to employees, hire more certified people

      Pros

      You can get your recertification for CPR and can get CE credits as well through classes taught at HQ, depending on your stations location. In my area, it's like a big family at the station, we all look out for each other, including management. Due to it being a big company, you have a lot of discounts and good insurance to take advantage of.

      Cons

      Moral varies by location. There are unions in a lot of areas. Uniform orders take a while to get in for some reason.

      Advice to Management

      Be more strict in the hiring process to keep out some of the bad eggs. We have a lot of good people, but I've seen the bad ones ruin moral for their shift rotation.
