      Poor pay, bad head trainer, okay management, but look... you're an EMT-B - EMT-Basic AMR Employee Review

      Pros

      Good place to start a career in EMS or gain good and fun healthcare experience. Equipment and training are decent if you have a good trainer. Heavy emphasis on good documentation. Always have newer rigs on 911 side of Burlingame station.

      Cons

      Poor pay, arrogant head trainer (God complex), management can be deceptive during COVID, union negotiators suck and newer hires no differentials or daily overtime. If the head trainer dislikes you, good luck getting training shifts and completing training in <3 months. Be wary of the medical information you receive from the head trainer and always double check said information. Extremely expensive service to our patients and the county with some emphasis on cool toys rather than quality of care e.g. mobile stroke unit which haven't been proven through rigorous review that they offer a good cost-benefit to county residents. Often a lack of PPE during COVID times.

      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.
