Pros

They still have the 911 contract in Riverside for all those enamored with being a "first" responder. Maybe it looks good on a resume for future emergency or medical field jobs? The coolest co-workers with minimally supervised downtime. This means you can study and/or be on your phone. Even when it's busy I'd say most of the job is talking with your partners or looking stuff up on your phone.

Cons

EMTs are in a dangerous field and deal with lots of literal poo (though less than nursing) up to and including death. We are underpaid! Though better paid than most other private ambulance companies. This ends up equalling steep Union dues for an incompetent union that doesn't do much except trying to bargain with severely limited leverage.

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.
