      Pros

      911 experience, 24 hour shifts, work with the fire department, get to run some "okay" calls. Work cct. CCT is good if your trying to go to nursing or currently in school. Get a pay stipen for working CCT. The people that work here are cool and I'd consider some of them lifelong friends but you do get some "characters" since the job doesn't require much to work here.

      Cons

      Ambulances are vans, equipment is outdated, a lot of stuff you have to improvise and make things work. The 911 area you work in is horrendous. Hope you like the smell of dog because your transporting homeless 90% of the time. The pay isnt the best. They wont work with your schedule and your only allowed 3 shift giveaways so its hard to make a school schedule unless its completely online. The fire department is always upset if you show up with a van and not a mod.

      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.
