Pros

Easy to get hired. Smile and know what corporate wants - high energy, brainless drones... High turn over rate, due to Cons, makes hiring process perpetual.

Cons

TERRIBLE compensation. Required to be "on call" (at some locations) without ANY compensation due to federal laws protecting the employer. "Find your own coverage" even when you submit documentation at their "should be submitted" 30 day prior request. Harassment via TEXT messages with fanciful stories of being told not to "make us out to be the bad guy" or asking for shift coverage via TEXT. (In some areas), level 0 with mutual aid happens often due to the company stating they don't "have the funds" to staff another full time crew, or part time for "peak hours" Upper level management (above area managers) refuse to return employee calls when they need to go above in the chain of command due to mistreatment and abuse of employees.

Pros

I have been with AMR for 10+ years and I have to say, it’s an outstanding organization for anyone looking to advance their career in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). One of the standout features is the abundance of career advancement opportunities—they really invest in their team members with comprehensive in-house training programs that help you build skills and certifications at every level. Whether you’re starting out as an EMT or aiming for paramedic roles or even leadership positions, AMR provides clear pathways and support to grow professionally. What I love most is how AMR operates nationwide, giving you flexibility and variety in your work environment. From high-paced urban emergency responses to specialized disaster relief teams, there’s a diverse range of settings to match your interests and skills. This not only keeps the job exciting but also allows for transfers or new challenges without leaving the company. Overall, AMR fosters a supportive culture focused on excellence in patient care and employee development—if you’re passionate about EMS, this is a top-notch place to build a rewarding career! Highly recommend.

Cons

No real cons to speak about.

Pros

As we continue to strengthen our culture, our Core Behaviors remain the foundation for how we lead, engage, and deliver results across our teams. These behaviors are not just guiding principles—they define the expectations for how we interact with each other, our patients, and our communities every day. At their core, these behaviors drive consistency and alignment across the organization. By prioritizing care, encouraging open communication, seeking to understand, collaborating on solutions, and holding ourselves accountable, we create an environment grounded in trust, respect, and shared responsibility. I am proud to be part of a great organization that exemplifies the core behaviors.

Cons

Success of the Core Behaviors depends on consistent leadership, clear application, and sustained reinforcement over time. This is a challenge that will take time.
