Average Company - Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) AMR Employee Review

Unfortunately, this branch has no hiring standards for EMS personnel. As a result, individuals who may not be suited for the profession are often hired, leading to a workforce with varying levels of education and competency. While compensation is competitive within the local private EMS market, it remains among the lowest in the nation, with some employees earning salaries at or near the poverty level. The lack of hiring standards also means that working conditions can be challenging. While you may find great partners, many employees can be difficult to work with due to personality conflicts or questionable actions toward both coworkers and patients, raising concerns about integrity and professionalism. Management is notably detached from the daily realities faced by field crews. The current manager, Kirk Schmit, is rarely present with the crews or engaged in gathering feedback, leading to changes that are often unwanted or ineffective. Additionally, employee benefits are minimal, with no significant perks beyond discounts, including only discounted health plans rather than comprehensive coverage.
