Pros
Large company with good opportunity for personal growth. Folks here are fast-moving and the management. Co-workers I've been with are professional and caring.
Cons
Not that I noticed that would really irritate me. The only complaint that naturally comes with this job is the possibility of working holidays and weekends, but it was kind of expected.

The wide range of calls from dialysis, vent pts, plastic surgery, ER call, psych, jail transfers and hospital discharges.
Cons
Rigs are breaking down, hard to get a hold of HR, have to force to give sign on bonus and months late, bouncing checks, owners seem to blame everything on EMTs.
Advice to Management
Listen to the EMTs for advice and dont let the checks bounce anymore.

Negative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at MedCoast Ambulance full-time for more than a year
Pros
Your fellow EMTs are good people. Made a lot of good friends along the way.
Cons
The biggest con to working here is the paychecks bouncing. I showed up on time, did my job well, did my documentation and got signatures. All I expected in return for that is to be paid in a timely manner. Your paychecks are going to bounce, and that’s why I bounced. I was told by a supervisor that when asked about the bouncing paychecks, the owner got pissed off and started ranting that the company bank accounts...

I’d advise you to grow a pair and stand up to the owner, but she’d fire you on the spot if you did. Best of luck to you.

Pros
Pros of this company - the supervisor, Tim, tries to work with your schedule. They understand EMTs are younger and going to school and working. They have 24s. I was on one for months before I left. I met tons of cool people. The employees, your fellow EMTs, are cool. The management just make it suck.
Cons
Cons: The checks bounce. If it isn't your first check, it's going to happen eventually. Everyone warned me about it. It didn't happen to me for 1.5 months and then it happened. When I brought it up to management, I was told it was because they were in the process of changing banks. 1. Banks are a business too.. a for profit business. If a company came to them saying, hey, we want you to run our accounts, the bank would...

Close down. Do yourselves a favor and close down. Stop committing Medicare fraud.

"New Owners Killed Company Culture"

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at MedCoast Ambulance full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
The EMT's are some of the best people around. Very friendly and open work environment.
Cons
When the new ownership took over the company culture went downhill fast. There is no sense that this is one company, but rather the ownership favorites from their prior company. Morale has really collapsed due to the owners picking favorites and putting unqualified people into key leadership positions.
Advice to Management
Promote people into supervisory roles based on experience and skill rather than favoritism.
