Pros

Benefits and the pay is goof for the DC 911 Contract. IFT is okay but there is hire paying IFT operations in the DC area.

Cons

They tell you one thing but at the end fo there day, they'll do whatever it takes to get calls ran. People where hired for the 911 contract later to find they will also be ding IFT. Which I have no problem doing. but those hours should never succeed half your hours that week. Scheduling stinks "seniority" says you get the better schedule, But there is know to tell where you are in line for a schedule they may open up.They need to revamp the schedule and make it fair the masses. Right now as May 2016 its "take it or leave it"

Pros

There’s a good workforce here with employees who are well united on issues a strong sense that the company is actually pushing toward a positive future in terms of operations. Ambulance fleet seems to be getting good upgrades and call volume (in most areas) is manageable. There is also a good amount of OT available with bonuses/incentives available. Matching 401k is nice and health benefits are very reasonable.

Cons

For being such a large operation, the pay rate seems to be lacking as of right now. Most employees with adult responsibilities are having to rely heavily on overtime/incentives just to have a semi-comfortable lifestyle outside of work. Uniforms definitely need improvements and training for new EMTs seems a bit lackluster. The morale can be low at times also due to the company being write-up happy (for lack of a better term). Lack of 24 hour units and proper posting locations makes for a somewhat harsh work day as well.
