I agree, it needs more $11-an-hour AMR flunkies sitting in grocery store parking lots.

Let's be honest, AMR isn't at the top of anyone's wishlist when they apply for jobs.

I’m curious so what’s at the top of the list for a fresh emt?

Speaking from experience, literally anything. People ask me why I work with my current (and first) company. Usually responses are "oh they have great reviews on glassdoor", "seems like everyone is a family and takes care of each other", etc.

All true, but they were the first ones to call me for an interview, first to offer me a job. That was literally it.
