Pros

Used to have a variety of schedules but no longer. Original AMR management was respectful, but no longer.

Cons

Poor medical benefits. Also,Yellow field management was left intact after their company went out of business. Said management is not professional and yells/speaks to you like a drill sergeant, cuss words and all. All schedules were nixxed and the yellow schedule model of rotating 12 hr shifts put back into effect. 80% of shifts start at 11am to 11pm. They refused to work with employees that have families and whose kids are not in school due to covid-19. often pointing them out and ultimately terminating them. They refused to let employees stay home when members of their family had covid-19. If the US government is paying a premium for covid transports to a FEMA response company, said company is not paying any additional to their employees.

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.
