Pros

Long shifts can allow for more off days and if you work in a quiet city there is a lot of down time

Cons

You usually are working an extremely busy area and it’s understaffed which means you don’t get to sleep

Pros

None. I resigned after a couple of months because of how toxic this environment is. I have been in EMS for almost a decade, this was the worst experience because of co-workers who are miserable and fake-nice (plus other bad things), management, and lack of morale and tons of bad practices.

Cons

When there is high turnover and poor morale with low pay there is always a reason. Do not be naive about what this company is and how poorly they treat first responders.

Pros

Great group of emts and medics, only a small handful of "bad apple" which of course can just be based on opinion and who you work good with. Most medics are receptive to answering questions and teaching emts if they want to learn or go to medic school. Morale is good. Occasionally people will bring food or treats to share. People try to help eachother get off on time. Somewhat organized ftep process for both bls and als. Most of the on duty sups are great. Base pay for EMT is 18.37 a hour for the first 8hrs of your shift, then it's time and a half for last 4hrs then double pay if your held over. Shifts are 12hrs each. Shifts are 2 2 3 which is 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on 3 off schedule. If the other side agrees you can do a 4 on 4 off instead.

Cons

Process to unionize has been slow going. Wish they weren't taking away the stipend. ALso wish it was easier to get shifts covered or traded without using pto. Pay could be better for emts and emt-as. Wish they had an ils capability so advanced emts can practice while working with a basic emt partner. Bls can be slow. Ambulances are all slowly breaking down. Some of them rattle or have broken cads or no AC or other small quirks/things that dont work.
