Pros

Great people on the ground for the most part. Employees would do their best with the equipment they had to work with.

Cons

On call is required depending on where you work Lowest paid full time agency in my state. 120 hour work weeks is not uncommon with the one day off required to be on call due to critically low staffing. Centralized dispatch from 300 miles away causing a ridiculous amount of errors, being type of calls to addresses and most of the time both. Heavy favoritism by low-mid level managers. Trucks with well over 250k miles and one mechanic to maintain 30 vehicles. Expect to be pulled off of 911 calls for BLS transfers.

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

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.
