Personable and relaxed environment. Opportunity to grow and get education for free
Cons
Low ish pay? Ems as a whole is under paid. When I started in another city (still with AMR) with 0 experience I was making $19. I moved and with experience I was making $17 even though my new city has a higher cost of living.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We appreciate your honest feedback and we regularly review our compensation packages to ensure they remain competitive. Thanks for your time with us and we wish you the best!
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.
