Pros

I really do not see any.

Cons

After acquiring Rural Metro, the company did a poor job integrating its business units. Huge pay disparity between 2 business units working side to side was disastrous for morale. Company doesn't value its employees, but rather sees them as disposable. Scarce advancement possibilities for field employees. Poor employee retention. Horrendous working conditions (400,000+ miles on certain units and no AC in the Summer in AZ), sub-par patient care equipment, sub-par employee training. This company clearly doesn't value its employees and doesn't care much about the patients it transports. All that counts is profit.

Pros

Career growth opportunities, supportive coworkers, opportunities to learn and develop, ability to advance if you stay engaged and work hard

Cons

Healthcare/EMS can be demanding, long hours at times, stressful days, and workload can be heavy depending on staffing and operations. These things aren’t specific to AMR, that’s our industry in general.

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.
