Pros

The first thing you notice about AMR is that they're always hiring. This is mostly due to a high turnover rate coupled with constant expansion. They treat you well coming in the door, paying for training, uniforms, and even certifications. You get to travel a lot, and management treats employees with a decent amount of trust.

Cons

This isn't the most glamorous or rewarding place to be an emergency services provider. The turnover rate is so high that anyone who has stayed on for more than two years is practically a senior employee, and the pay isn't as great as it is with most fire departments or hospitals.

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.
