Pros

Busy system with a multitude of calls to gain experience. Lots of CEUs to earn.

Cons

Low pay, only affordable to live with overtime and running yourself thin. No shift differentials. Schedules are not flexible, they added additional hours to the schedule without compensation. Management is not there for you, they only care about protecting themselves and the money in their pockets. They have terrible attitudes and behavior. High turnover rates and fast burnout. Equipment fails constantly and when a truck needs to go out of services they don’t fix it half the time and put it back into rotation. Lack of PTO approval, no sick leave. Clear evidence of discrimination (racism, sexism, harassment, etc… not just from fellow employees, but from supervisors and management). Also known for retaliation again their employees. Unorganized and terrible communication.

Pros

AMR San Mateo is making huge strides in changing the Old Boy culture of EMS. The operation is collaborative, cares for its employees, and acts with accountability.

Cons

Although it's much better than it was, AMR San Mateo still deals with staffing issues, primarily for medics, and forced mandation is still in play.

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.
