Pros

1) They are progressive when it comes to EMS. 2) They encourage Paramedics to be clinicians as opposed to techs. 3) The pay is pretty good. Not quite great yet, but pretty damn good. 4) Experience. You get a lot of it. A year of DeKalb 911 is like 3 years in most other areas.

Cons

1) Pay could still be a little better. 2) They don't honor educational prowess. So if you have any of your board certifications or any degrees, you don't get any expanded scope of practice nor is your pay increased. 3) Their Education Reimbursement program stops st the Paramedic certification/license. They don't support us getting degrees or board certs.

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.
