Falck reviews

Management does not listen to employees at all. They will do company meetings where they have a "round table" so employees can ask questions and suggest ideas, but it never leads to anything. The last one in December was a joke where managements response was "we pay legal wages, everyone makes no less than minimum wage." Which is true. So if you work there expect minimum wage and to NEVER get above that. Yes you MIGHT get a 3% cost of living increase, but you wont get more than that, and honestly that is not enough to cover the increase in rent food or insurance alone annually. Also they did just go to a 48 hour work a week work schedule for crews working 24 hours straight. They said it was for employee safety, but it happened to start right as Washington changed their minimum wage, so cut hours and you cut pay. Falck had HUGE potentional to the point the IAFF was scared. But because Falck USA brought NO values from Falck Denmark they just became another AMR.

Everyone wants the same days off for testing, biddles, and interviews. They will work with your schedule but they will not bend any rules. If you mess up at this company they have no problem firing you and and ruining any dreams of being a firefighter. Pay is currently getting better but still not that great. You're expendable and they let you know that from the start. Extremely big company and always hiring.
