Amwest Ambulance

I’ve had a great experience with Amwest and hold them in very high regard. From the start, it was clear that the company values professionalism, teamwork, and doing things the right way.

Management is supportive and approachable, and there’s a strong sense of structure without it feeling overwhelming. Expectations are clear, and if you’re someone who shows up, works hard, and takes responsibility, it doesn’t go unnoticed.

What stood out to me the most is the work environment. It’s fast-paced, but in a good way—it keeps you engaged and constantly improving. There’s also a level of respect between team members that makes a big difference day-to-day.

Overall, Amwest is a solid company with strong leadership and a positive culture. It’s a place where you can grow, build experience, and feel confident in the work you’re doing.

Great job for EMT. Management is really nice and if you need something just don't be last minute about it. Just about everyone is kind and get the job done, but there are a few odd balls just like any other job. Typical day can be hit or miss with calls. Either all day you will be working none stop  or it will not. If you have plans to advance your career in medicine and are passionate about it, you will do great in this job. Although there are tough days, interacting with patients can make it all worth it. Remember not to take things personally and take a learners approach to it all. You are an EMT not a doctor nor nurse. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The co workers are great, there are typically plenty of shifts to pick up, and there are multiple stations to work out of.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some days, you will sit your whole shift, some days you will be so stacked that you will get a call after your off time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone is burned out and trudging through each day. Management doesn’t care about issues that arise.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, check rig, check in with dispatch, run calls, maybe have time to kill, end of shift.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s a good place to build your résumé. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Leadership doesn’t have a clear vision and the culture has too much favoritism.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unpredictable: they don’t know what they want to focus on

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There are no typical days, but most of them involve frustrations that would be easily prevented with proper planing or with a responsive leadership.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I had friendly co-workers and the manager was also pretty nice and flexible with me and my schedule. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The hours are long and the pay is too low—although the same can be said for most EMT positions available in our country. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment was okay, with occasional events and free snacks, etc. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive, work 12 hours, clock out.

As mentioned above. They don't care for their employees very much. 
They only care about their profits and bonuses, people work for management. The EMTs do not get anything. Their units are gross, half the employees could not pass a drug test if given to all the employees. The employer used to be nice (bonuses, OT, etc) but he became greedier. 

One thing that was nice working for this company is the field managers they usually would try to take care of you. Overall not a great working environment. 

There's always another reason why the feild workers don't get compensation and taken forgranted. But somehow the ones in the office (admin) seems to be giving themselves bonuses or "buying new gurneys". Why are the rigs always breaking down? Why do they look like used equipment. Why is it hard to properly compensate the people actually bringing in the money to this company. Without the feild workers this company wouldn't survive!


Awful, clueless dispatchers. Garbage management. You will get ran to the ground and you will lose all hope in humanity working here. They will send you from Long Beach to Lancaster, then Pomona to Mexico. You will not sleep. Working here made me an extremely neurotic person. Exercise caution. Favoritism is a thing.

I've worked for a few different ambulance companies. This one feels the best to me. The management team listens to me and tries to accommodate what is asked of them. The ambulances are good and drive well. Some things seem to need improvement. But the family vibe at the station is the nicest I've ever felt in my career.

AmWest provided a great place for school work. Also uncommon for ambulance companies, the station. Three bedrooms, 2 for the 24-hour shifts and 1 for the 12. TV, full kitchen, clean bathrooms provided. Awesome place if you need a job and also some time to get online work done. Don't bank on it though, some days there are no calls, others you are out for the whole shift.
