Pros
- The coworkers and management here are fantastic- it's rare to find an EMS job where the supervisors and managers are sincerely invested in you and want to see you succeed. Put in the work and it'll pay off. - Great, knowledgeable partners to work with. I've learned most of what I know as an EMT from partners who were (or nearly) done with medic or RN programs. - Tons of overtime available if you want it. - Supervisors and management are super approachable & listen to suggestions willingly. - You'll find a greater diversity of BLS calls here than at any other BLS ambulance company. Royal does IFT, but I've had more than my fair share of 911-worthy code 2s as well. You'll really get an opportunity to hone your assessment skills & learn tons. - It's a great way to get into EMS (or any healthcare job). You'll get an enormous exposure to not only EMS career options but other healthcare paths as well- medic, PA, RN, RT, MD... you name it- someone here is going for it. I've worked at other BLS ambulance companies and Royal by far is my favorite.
Cons
- The pay, but that goes for any BLS company. Overtime is where it's at for sure.
