Pros

Positive leadership exemplified solely by the president. Acceptable work-life balance.

Cons

The workplace is deeply entrenched in office politics, where not aligning with the dominant group risks isolation and unfair treatment. Managerial issues characterized by high ego; inability to accept constructive criticism leading to unprofessional reactions. Mediocre performance by management, yet holding a high level of authority, causing a fear-based silence among team members. Management showcases a mismatch in expectations versus practices, notably in punctuality, preparation, and proficiency, fostering an environment of double standards and eroding trust. A culture of defensiveness rather than supportiveness from certain high-level managers, contributing to a negative working environment.

Pros

The company has grown extensively since I started, which bodes well for the future. If you love growing with a company and making a mark, this is the place for you. There is a great camaraderie with coworkers. Whether in-person or remote, you truly feel like a valuable part of the team. Very autonomous. You have the freedom to make decisions for yourself. Leadership welcomes ideas and suggestions from everyone, and is always open to meeting with you to discuss how things can go more smoothly. They promote from within. The leadership makes a point to help you map out your own trek to success. Whatever that looks like to you, they'll help you get there. In my five years here, I've witnessed more than 10 coworkers being promoted. And more to come. We've even had employees branch off to start their own departments. From day one, you're part of the team and are looked at as an equal contributor.

Cons

Cons are always subjective. The one thing I'll say is that any con you feel during your time here can be brought to management and discussed openly to resolution.

Pros

This is a Company that truly cares about its employees. They are very vocal when things are going well, not just when things aren’t going well. They also allow you to work to your own strengths rather than needing to complete everything in one cookie cutter way. Everyone that works here is extremely helpful and no one will ever make you feel like they don’t have enough time to help you. All in all I am extremely happy to be a part of the EMSC team!

Cons

You must be good at managing your workload, while this is a pro as mentioned above, this can be a con for others who aren’t as organized.
