Pros
Overall, AMR in San Bernardino County is a pretty decent place to work, especially if you're young and using it as a stepping stone to a better position. This job provides a lot of good work experience since AMR has the 9-1-1 contract and the coverage area itself is quite varied. AMR also has the contract for the Speedway in Fontana which is fun to work at if you get a chance. Another nice thing about AMR, is their approach to education and training. As a current employee, you can sign up for just about any CE or certification course they’re offering free of charge and their CES department is always willing to help if you want to review a skill. They spend a good amount of time training new hires (2 week orientation + 6-10 shifts with an FTO) and if you make a mistake on the job, most of the time they’re willing to work with you and retrain you as necessary instead of just outright firing you. One of the best things about working at AMR though, is the people. I wasn’t super close friends with a lot of people, but most people who work there are friendly, funny, and nice and I don’t remember meeting any coworkers or supervisors/managers that I didn’t at least generally like.
Cons
Unfortunately the pay is very low. Hopefully this has improved since I left two years ago.
