Pros

AMR is a great company to work for. They provide stepping stones of opportunities for their employees to obtain future careers with other Fire and EMS agencies or the private sector. Many people that have left AMR after 5 years have propelled themselves into better careers. EMT's become RN's, Management move on to managerial positions in the public or private sector that have better career opportunities and pay. AMR is the training ground for Americas future.

Cons

AMR has the potential for advancement within... however.. they also make across the board cuts in management from time to time to protect their budgets. This is not limited to middle management but occurs at the top as well. My overall experience at AMR was positive... but I was a risk taker and have made the most of the opportunities when presented realizing that a position at AMR is only secure as the economy or the next internal company's mergers. There's a common statement among the employees at AMR... One step up the ladder is one step closer to the exit.

Overall AMR is well respected in this region and is a very busy in comparison with other companies around the area. The pay is far superior than other companies and the benefits are also better.

Cons

Down fall is the number of calls ran in shift, however the compensation in pay makes up for the limited down time.
