Paramedic

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers Autonomy Training Free Uniform Easy/ fast hiring process I really can't think of any others. It was a good place to work before new management and the shift bids that occured over the summer.

Cons

Critical understaffing (people are leaving for better paying jobs and better management). Lowest pay in the area. Critical equipment is not stocked and they will make you run calls without it. The Hampton roads operation is going down the toilet. I do not think it will last much longer. They just cut the Eastern Shore operation and are making those employees travel almost 2 hours to report to work and pay almost $20 in tolls that they will NOT receive reimbursement for. Management does not listen to it's EMT's or dispatchers. Some of the trucks are running illegally (vehicle maintainance expired). When you voice a concern to management good luck getting a direct response.

Pros

High Volume experience. You will get what you need from this job to get the next step quicker than most other EMT jobs. Get in and get out as quick as you can.

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. In reflection of this job my employers put me in situations that compromised my personal safety on many occasions. The hours were terrible, the attitude of management towards the staff was often abusive. Patient care was not in balance with company profit. While I consider this the most important and exciting job I have ever had on many levels, I can not say enough what a terrible organization this company is. Also the union is absolutely awful. Your rights will only be protected by seniority which has produced many long time employees that are simply lazy and difficult to work with. While the experience is amazing for a first time EMS position it is not designed for long term employment.

Too big. Smaller entities get lost and forgotten

Pros

Large company gives the feeling of security. Believe that the company want us to do well. Tries to give us the tools to succeed.

Cons

Too big. Too slow. Prefer using methods that are proven less effective because that's just how we do it. Pay is all over the place. Should be consistent at least on a state level. Non union entities should be treated as well as union. Benefits need to be equal.
