Pros

Large company, many smaller divisions within Generally strong equipment and decent rigs Meet lots of people in the industry, some career with AMR and some working in multiple environments Excellent opportunity to build street experience

Cons

It's a national mega-conglomerate Your experience will vary dramatically depending on what division/location you're in Contracts are in such flux that it's challenging to build a career on this side of the industry EMT pay is not career-sustaining -- use as a stepping stone or become a paramedic

Pros

AMR San Mateo is making huge strides in changing the Old Boy culture of EMS. The operation is collaborative, cares for its employees, and acts with accountability.

Cons

Although it's much better than it was, AMR San Mateo still deals with staffing issues, primarily for medics, and forced mandation is still in play.
