Pros

If you're fresh out of emt school it is a good place to get experience under your belt. You can learn a lot if you pay attention. Not a place to stay for long term, you'll get burnt out quickly due to the long hours and high call volume.

Cons

Low pay, supervisors are unqualified and don't seem to know what they're doing, you can get in trouble for almost anything, always getting held over at least 2 hours, equipment is broken, lack of communication between crews, supervisors, dispatch, and vst's, extremely high call volume and low staffing.

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.
