Pros

The ONLY pro. $31 hourly rate for a paramedic who sufficiently brown noses his/her way to up to paramedic II. The time off is nice as well, but it is in line with what all hospital based EMS agencies offer.

Cons

Forming a list is neccessary. 1) There are two females and one minority who have managed to crack the barrier up beyond a grunt in a department with 400+ employees. 2)You will always come last. 16 hour work days with no bathroom break or meal is typical. 3)incompetant schedulers require a total redo of everyones schedule every 6 to 12 months. 4)Managements answers to employees concerns. "....we have a stack of resumes this thick." 5)NO reliable means of communicating IMPORTANT information. ie When induced hypothermia protocols began, we didnt have coolers or cold fluid. Then one day, out of nowhere, with no comunication we do they are installed. 6)"We do not carry pediatric pulse ox probes because they are too expensive." This is what a manager said. 7)You have to put in for seniority based pto 6 months in advance and then it takes 4 months to actually approve or deny it. 8)The promotion to Paramedic II is for experienced Paramedics. It is routinely given to dispatchers with ZERO experience on an ambulance as a paramedic. 9)If you disagree with a manager at any time, your career is all but over. You will have eyes on you non stop. Look for another job. 10)Management operates with the assumption that you are the laziest stupidest creature alive. 11)Why are people with the same job duties paid up to $10K/year less even when they have more experience in some instances? 12)This departments has probably the highest turn over rate in the entire health system. People are hired and fired constantly 13)Requires mentioning again. If you are not a white male, born and raised and currently living in Nassau or Suffolk counties you will not fit in or be promoted. I am not a FORMER employee. I am a current employee, and in good standing.
