      Pros

      Every operation was different. Mine (Santa Barbara County) was one of the better ones, from what I understand. Protocols are pretty standard for California, hospitals are great, and the area is a great place to live (avoid Santa Maria, Lompoc areas). Overall it's a great place to learn how to be a good paramedic and the calls are fairly diverse.

      Cons

      Pay, like most EMS jobs lags the average salary in healthcare and public safety. There is a current lawsuit between the company and the county fire department which threatens the longevity of AMR in this region.

      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.
