Pros

They will pay you to go to school for Medic and will pay you while in class so it can be very beneficial to use them to get a better cert then leave for the company you actually want.

Cons

greedy, doesn't care about the patient or worker, only cares about the bottom dollar. Can't hold onto good talent especially for management.

Pros

Helping people and a great sense of community

Cons

The pay is absolute garbage, you have to check all of your pay stubs because they will cut your hard worked hours and make you wait another pay period to pay you what is owed, the schedules are all based off of seniority, the sites and machines are constantly down.
