AMERICAN AMBULANCE

I came to American Ambulance after working 1.5 years at another company not too far from this business. The difference between these two companies was night and day. Considering that a majority of the patients you take at this company are dialysis transports, you have a fairly consistent schedule. For EMTs that are in school pursuing further education, this gives you time to study. Otherwise, you can go to the gym, watch a movie, relax, sleep, etc. At other companies, you'll be running calls all day long and tend to only get short breaks, which is not as nice in comparison. Full time typically works three to four 10-12 hour days, whilst part-time is negotiable, nevertheless, management looks out for everyone's needs and makes the schedule work (work schedules are created every week). They understand that this isn't a career, but rather a stepping stone toward other career goals. However, they don't use this as a reason to treat employees horribly. They have your best intentions in mind and are genuinely some of the nicest guys I've met. The only real issue I can think of is that the ambulances have problems and need a lot of maintenance or repair. Even then, they always try to fix the ambulances quickly and get them back to working condition. All in all, you really won't find a better EMT job as a beginner or as an experienced EMT who just wants a change from the stressful and annoying private ambulance life. 

I've been working at American Ambulance for about a year and as a student working toward to a nursing career, the working environment has made me appreciate and more devoted to becoming a first responder. Especially during the time of a pandemic, I'm more financially stable than I ever have been, as well as the experience I have gained has been greatly beneficial when persuing a career in the medical field. With that being said, the managers accommodate their employees all the time. If you give them an advance of what your schedule would be like, they will do their best to match it. The managers make it fairly easy for the employees to do their work. As well as they supply you with everything you would possibly need during your shifts. If you have a problem during your shift, give them a call and they'll respond right away and provide you with a solution. The relationship they've built with their employees is unmatched & truly makes it easy for everyone to voice their concerns or suggestions. Overall, a great place to work to gain experience, all the employees are friendly, flexible schedules, and managers are greatly involved.

American Ambulance is definitely the best choice for new, or experienced EMTs. I originally choose the company because of the flexible scheduling. That soon only became a small part of why i loved working there. What sets American Ambulance apart from other EMT companies is that you have pre-scheduled patient pick up times, giving to you at the beginning of your shift. For experienced EMTs I don't need to explain why that's so important. For everyone else, imagine with other companies you are constantly waiting for calls to come in, meaning you have no idea when your next call is going to be, and there for, how long your breaks are. So essentially your stuck in the ambulance all day. Knowing your break times means you are free to use the time as you wish. You can workout, do homework, or enjoy a meal at a restaurant. On top of that, it's a small, family owned business. You'll get to know the owners as well as your co-workers very well, all of which are very nice. And of course, the pay is competitive. Definitely check this place out, you won't be disappointed.

From the first day working in the company, management is very accommodating. Hours are flexible and plentiful. Pay is decent at first, but worth it when working for a while. There are decent breaks as well as benefits and PTO offered to employees. I'm happy to have gotten to know the patients as well as my employer while working here because they have definitely impacted my life and shown me a different side of the medical field that isn't really shown in other companies as well as hospitals too. I have made many friends as well as gotten close to my patients that I have considered to be family to this day.  I would recommend applying and getting to know American Ambulance Family

When I first came to American Ambulance I had no prior EMT job training, but the managers and coworkers did an incredible job teaching me and taking me under their wing. They were super accommodating to my schedule and made me feel like I was part of a team. The managers go out of their way to make themselves available at all times of the day, always answering their phones if you have a question. They also are always open to suggestions or ask for your input on how to make our days go smoother or more enjoyable. Overall, I could not have been more fortunate to work here for this team.

My overall experience working at American Ambulance has been really good. Management really try to look after you in regards to scheduling which helps a lot when you have other commitments that you are involved in. Everyone here is very kind and the workload is super easy compared to other companies. The shifts here are typically 10+ hours so you can expect to work 3-4 times a week which leaves you plenty of time to do whatever you want during your off days.

This is a great place work if you’re looking for an EMT job while also having other responsibilities. The scheduling is flexible, and management is very accommodating. You start the day with a list of scheduled transports, which is nice in comparison to other companies because it allows you to plan your breaks and use your break time more effectively. An added benefit is that because you see the same patients on a weekly basis you’ll likely experience more meaningful patient interactions.

This company is a very well balanced and relaxed place to work at. The employees and management are super friendly, as well as the patients. You take the same patients every shift, and they’re all super light. The pay is also one of the highest out of all other companies.

Management isn't insane enough to think you'll actually throw away your schooling just to keep your short term bare-bones EMT job.

So unlike a lot of other companies, the owners of AA actually take education seriously. When they say they won't schedule you during your school hours, they actually mean it.

I am very satisfied with my employer and my leaders, they are always available to speak to any concerning issues. Extremely flexible with accommodating to my work hours and my school hours. Friendly environment and always equipped with refreshments! Would highly recommend them.
