Pros
We actually have fairly decent equipment, which is a far cry better that what we had prior to Rural Metro. The insurance is decent (if you can find a provider). Other than that.......not much.
Cons
It was decent, until they ALLOWED a union. They never forced a vote of employees. The management seems to hide behind this union agreement to show the union "See, we told you so". If the management would have stopped and said, NO to the union, we would have weeded out the crybabies, but now we are stuck with them. Management on several occasions, have needed to be reminded to do their job. We are subordinate to a division that is over 150 miles away, and seems not really care about the employees here (local management at least seems somewhat concerend for their employees), just the money we are making for them. Rural/Metro posted a fairly decent profit this past year, but the street employees will not see it.
