American Medical Response Employer Reviews

Most of the time I work 2-3 hours pass my schedule shift
My co-workers are fun to work with
Management need to be more understanding
The most enjoyable part for me is my patients

Independent job working on an ambulance. Transporting patients requiring advanced care such as vaso-active drugs and/or ventilator support.

A typical day at work varied. I would go from doing nothing to being on the floor to take someone to rehab, or racing through the city to help someone in need. The management varied. I had some supervisors that I like and could go to with a problem. I had managers that you never really saw out there that could help you improve. The hardest part of the – more... job was bringing someone home on hospice. The most enjoyable part was working with the patients. – less

A very good company to work for. Did my job with no supervision.

ITS VERY VALUABLE WITH THE TEACHING OF SYSTEM... SUPERVISORS AT CALL CENTER VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND FLIP FLOPPY, ALL HAVE DIFFERENT RULES FOR DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES, SUPERVISORS SHOW FAVORITISM...

It was a good company, that worked well with my needs and schedule at the time. It's a large cooperation that can still manage to care for their employees.

My pay is fair, the work is good, my schedule is great. CES is easy to work with. Upper management seems to change every year or two, but it doesn't affect day to day operations much. My particular operation tries hard to excel. It is a for profit private company, so as long as expectations are guided by that fact, it's hard to complain about much here. – more... Bottom line about why I've given 9 years to AMR: They have always treated me fairly and with respect. My concerns are heard and there really are a lot of good people I work with. – less

Typically run 6- 8 calls in a day.
Not a great work schedule.
Fire Department is is easy to work with.

* 6am -2:30pm come in receive assignment and worked it all day
* I learned how to bill insurance companies, follow up with hospice and patients. Phone etiquette.
* My coworker were great, always willing to help and there to listen when you have had a hard day.
* keeping my ALT scores up
* the most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the people. – more... I loved working with the group. Also, know what I am doing everyday and doing it without much involvement from management. – less

Over all good company. It just takes a long time to get full time.

American Medical Response I meet a lot of good co-workers and found my job challenging . I enjoyed my job and looked forward to doing my job. Managed a high volume of income and outgoing calls daily. Managenent was there to help when needed. I learned how to coordinate my work to expedite my daily duties.

It is like your typical ambulance transport company with jobs all throughout new york city and the tristae area. It can be demanding at times and you can never expect to get out on time, but the work is rewarding. The management situation is a mess with three changes in the past year. There is limited room for growth

great experience working for this company. management and staff is easy going and professional for a fast paced, multi tasked daily environment.

AMR is a nice to place to work, i have gotten to work from hom over the last year and a half. Even though I went to school, I learned a great deal medical terminology and procedures.
The managment team are great to know and work with, same with the co-workers. Even though I work at home, we all keep in contact daily.
The hardest part of the job is staying – more... focused since it is a work from home job, but it is a great perk to have. – less

Consistant travel around the city.
Consistantly in and out of care centers of all sorts.
Safe driving habits, Proper communications skills concerning use of 2 way radios. EMT - I skills.
Great management.
Good coworkers, team work oriented.
Heavy patients. Hospice patients.
Travel out of town, new patients at least once per shift. Any overtime you wanted.

AMR was my first paramedic position. It allowed me to learn the ropes as an ALS provider. It provided challenges and allowed me to develop a solid foundation as a paramedic to eventually move on to bigger and more challenging positions.

Had alot of fun, and met some great people. Good company to work for if you want to get started in the EMS / Medical field. Pay isn't the greatest, but mostly used as a stepping stone, revolving door.

No consistency.

I learned a lot from some of my co-workers and or management that had been promoted since my tenure there.

Manager eliminated my position to eliminate me... There were other employees hired and or promoted to lead position after me.

Be careful, be very selective on who you talk to. DON'T TRUST ANYONE.

The manager of the team I was – more... on liked to micro-manage the team. She did not know what she was doing therefore resulted in lots of inconsistency...

Working for certain management that appreciated what you did... – less

I believe that the department I worked in tended to have relatively longer work weeks, the work was enjoyble and co workers for the most part were engaged and carried their weight.
About a year ago the company went private. During past year focus on cost cutting grew as did some stresses among employees.
Culture seems to be somewhat closed to sharing – more... talent among departments. – less

A fast pace type of job. A typical work day would be anywhere from 8hrs. a day to 12 , transporting vets. from home to appointments and back home.management was fair and just , co-workers where polite and professinal,hardest part of the job ,if the a.c. in the vehicle went out, the job itself was enjoyable. I enjoy helping my fellow vets.
