Pros

Busier urban systems offer a way to get experience for entry level and newly certified providers, opportunity for lateral relocations, generally always hiring, largest ems company in the US.

Cons

Less than wonderful benefits, treatment of employees, and pay. Lots of burnt out providers, the corporate strategy is great for shareholders and the business but not the employees. Amr is to EMS as Walmart is to a neighborhood store. Not all operations and providers are the same across the board but the general consensus heard is either work here for initial experience and move on or come in at a management level.

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.
