Employee Review of American Medical Response - Check out more reviews of working at American Medical Response

This company is broken. Incompetent management, incompetent staff, absence of leadership, the list goes on and on. Every piece of equipment they had from the toilet paper sheets they put on the stretcher to the ambulance itself is broken or inadequate for the purpose. Everything, and I mean everything was broken, radios that wouldn't work inside, trucks that caught on fire, doors with broken glass in them fixed with card stock and packing tape. The management was completely out of touch with reality, we had to go up in the system at our scheduled time, but we couldn't clock in more than six minutes prior to our shift. It is impossible to get a truck assignment, do prechecks, get all the equipment loaded and get up in the system in six minutes. When I told them this their only reply was "Make it happen, you're a smart guy.", essentially asking me to work off the clock. They might as well have done just that with the fluctuating work week method of payment they used. Eight hours out of twenty four hour shift were a bonus for the company. Incompetent dispatchers sending us from one end of the county to anther to respond for emergencies because all the other units were off chasing transfer money. Constantly running the system thin, then blaming me for not making the times. They have ZERO respect for National guardsmen, constantly giving us crap about guard drills, convieniently losing notifications that had been made about drill weekend. Policies that changed overnight, then writing an employee up nine times for violations of the policy previous to its creation, then firing him. I would crawl to the hospital on bloody stumps before I would let 90% of the people I worked with touch me. AMR Jackson is the worst job I have ever had, and that is saying quite a bit.
