Pros

National company with national resources. New trucks and equipment and supportive leadership. Pay is well above average for most EMS companies, including those they are also national.

Cons

Being a large company, although leadership is supportive, employees, particularly those on the front line (EMTs and Paramedics on trucks) tend to get lost in the business of other responsibilities.

Pros

Straightforward with their expectations of you leading up and going into the academy.

Cons

There is no room for error. If you’re not in good physical condition and think you’ll improve while in the academy you’re wrong. You need to already be in good shape or they will run you ragged for it. It’s either you’re ready or you’re not and if you’re not then they will make it as miserable as possible to test you and either you quit or they fire you.
