Pros

Great for personal growth, decent pay, excellent community involvement. I personally can say that I've made lifelong relationships within my roll at A.M.R. I've been blessed with an opportunity to learn what humility really means and I've seen both the best and worst in humanity; for that, I too am grateful. The aforementioned adds to my personal lift perspective

Cons

Long hours, mentally/physically exhausting, difficult on lower back not to mention the general attitude the company displays with regard to profit - this is the companies sole purpose. Of course I understand that a business has to make an income but when you personally see firsthand what this actually means in regards to healthcare, for-profit thinking creates a riff between the providers and the company. I have a big problem when a company is making record profits and we as employes do not have access to new, working equipment because it's not "in the budget."

Pros

I have been with AMR for 10+ years and I have to say, it’s an outstanding organization for anyone looking to advance their career in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). One of the standout features is the abundance of career advancement opportunities—they really invest in their team members with comprehensive in-house training programs that help you build skills and certifications at every level. Whether you’re starting out as an EMT or aiming for paramedic roles or even leadership positions, AMR provides clear pathways and support to grow professionally. What I love most is how AMR operates nationwide, giving you flexibility and variety in your work environment. From high-paced urban emergency responses to specialized disaster relief teams, there’s a diverse range of settings to match your interests and skills. This not only keeps the job exciting but also allows for transfers or new challenges without leaving the company. Overall, AMR fosters a supportive culture focused on excellence in patient care and employee development—if you’re passionate about EMS, this is a top-notch place to build a rewarding career! Highly recommend.

Cons

No real cons to speak about.

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.
