Pros

You get paid on time (but not always the right amount) Free uniforms TONS of overtime Free snacks (at the hospital EMS rooms) Annual pizza parties (day shift only) Okay, maybe those aren't pros...THERE ARE NONE

Cons

Forced overtime High turnover Perpetually low staffing Lack of experienced employees, most are brand new EMTs Low wages, just a buck or two more than minimum wage Cutthroat management that will prioritize profits over patient care and employees Stuck in a rig 12-24 hours a day, NO STATIONS Running calls ALL day Management will shoo you out of the EMS room at hospitals to go run more calls, while you're writing reports, forcing you to write your reports after your shift technically ends Braindead dispatch that will have you driving circles around Tacoma all day in between calls

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.
