Pros

You have the opportunity to work as many hours as you would like and make a lot of money in OT hours but you will sacrifice your physical and mental health in the process

Cons

Required to work 240 hours a month. Rotating 24s and additional mandatory overtime of 60-72 hours as well as late hold overs. You will be working 36 hour shifts with minimal sleep 4 hours the entire time is a great shift. You will not be able to have any home life.

While overtime is common for many of our roles, these hours are not the norm. We will share your feedback and we wish you the best in all of your future endeavors.

Pros

Career growth opportunities, supportive coworkers, opportunities to learn and develop, ability to advance if you stay engaged and work hard

Cons

Healthcare/EMS can be demanding, long hours at times, stressful days, and workload can be heavy depending on staffing and operations. These things aren’t specific to AMR, that’s our industry in general.

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.
