Pros

Consistent Full time work decent benefits Opportunities to advance fast paced Good work environment 12 hr shifts where I was, which meant you only worked 3 days one week and 4 days the next week. The gave a great deal of time to spend with my family. That was actually my favorite part of working for AMR.

Cons

Benefit premiums are far too expensive, tended to take over half of my income to pay the taxes and benefits. When in a supervisory position, they press you to discipline subordinates rather than simply speaking to them to resolve the issues of concern. No regular breaks. usually required to eat at your radio console

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.
