Pros

Can get a lot of hours if that's what you want, may get some good experience depending on the medic you work with.

Cons

Poor management and low workplace moral, experience likely to be limited to being just a driver depending on the medic you're partnered with. Workplace hostility, minimal training by burnt out FTOs, favoritism in the workplace, malicious dispatching often times, long hours and rarely off on time. When assigned overtime, many crews are given a short time span between shifts. (Example, you work a 10 to 10 shift, get off at midnight, and expected to come in the next morning at 6 am! This is especially bad for anyone who has a long commute such as one hour). Safety is not much regarded unless it potentially puts the company at risks of lawsuits and etc.

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.
