Pros

On low volume days, it's a pretty fun job. You have a good amount of freedom to do whatever you want. I had a lot of time to work on homework for medic school. Patients are usually nice and grateful for your work. Supervisors are seeming to move people to ambulance positions fairly quickly (after about 6 months).

Cons

You're making peanuts. Unless you pick up overtime, you won't be making a lot of money. They recently decided that even if you move onto a truck (if you're an EMT) you will not be getting a raise. Benefits are absolutely terrible, I may as well not have insurance at all. Despite my frequent doctor appointments, I will never reach my deductible unless something serious happens. High volume days can be very stressful, I've had days where I was unable to eat most of the day, however that is EMS life, not the fault of AMR.

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.
