The Seattle AMR kinda slaps! - Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) AMR Employee Review

Pros

- Strong union after the 6 month probation - It is THE Seattle fire ambulance. It is the singular company of the big three in the area that has the Seattle fire contract meaning they pick up all fire calls from north Seattle to south Seattle. - Supervisors and coworkers are generally pretty freindly - Great stepping stone job for entering into proffessions such as paramedicine, fire departments, nursing roles, and doctor - One of the best paid AMRs in the nation (26/hr in 2025) - It's hard to get fired unless you deserve it - management responds to messups in constructive ways. - rewarding sense of personal agency even outside of the workplace (being an EMT is fun) - A better workplace environment than northwest ambulance (was sued by employees for not giving them breaks) - More relaxed than Trimed (but Trimed is still fine from what I've heard)

Cons

- high turnover rate - high stress environment (duh, it's medicine) - people will try and hit you, spit at you, make weird comments, you'll have to clean up vomit and feces. - you will unlock the ability to identify Cellulitus and UTI by smell. - Many of the available schedules are night shift, and a newbie might have no choice but to take a night shift (theres a $2 night differential) - People generally gain 5lbs after starting the job - The job is not good for your health. - the higher levels of management are still a that of a typical money-hungry company.

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.
