SeniorCare EMS reviews

Where to begin.... 1) Patients are customers first (that's what you'll hear in orientation), meaning dispatchers and supervisors will try to rush you along just so they can present a bill for service, and get you going to your next call. It doesn't matter if the patient is 45+ mins away on an emergency call, just get it done is the attitude. 2) Dispatchers- by far the worst con. They sit in a AC/heated room, intermittently watching CNN on a big screen, while thinking they are gods. They don't communicate among themselves, so be prepared to have 5 different dispatchers. who may or may not have any field experience, key you up over the radio asking for your status and trying to tell you how to do your job. They'll also mark or change your status without checking with you. If you have 'NE' (new employee) next to your name, you're chum in their eyes. And don't ever think they'll let you go back to base on time. 3) Most supervisors are so dissatisfied with their lives, they take it out on you. They can be rude & disrespectful without even a cause or something minute that they exploit. Got a complaint or concern? Give it to a seemingly uncaring supervisor, who stares at their phone or computer as you're talking. 4) Ambulances and equipment are beat to the point that they can endanger the crew and/ or patient lives. What's worse is that you hardly get the bare 10 minutes necessary at the start of your tour to check your gear and bus; all the while, your name, tech card, and reputation are on the line if something goes wrong. If the DOH ever gets wind of this... 5) Pay: $10.50-11.50/hr for an EMT-B, which is less than some retailers and fast food joints. Need I say more? I could write more, but I'll leave it at that.

Oh boy, there are plenty. Very low pay considering what these leeches expect from you. The Dispatchers in this company are evil incarnate, their only goal is to make your day horrible. Dont expect to ever get a meal break, or a bathroom break, or anything aside from another job, because all this company wants from you is non stop work, you are a robot to them. Some of management is okay, most are horrible. They made some questionable choices regarding some of their Supervisors, who really don't know how to perform their job and really only exist to irritate you, try to find anything to get you in trouble for. The Trucks and equipment they use are terrible as well, half the time the trucks don't have a working radio or the locks don't work, or the truck just stops working in the middle of the day, or the stupid tablet doesn't work due to Battery issues, software issues, mostly due to the fact that the WHOLE COMPANY ONLY HAS 1 IT PERSON. Despite how huge SCEMS is, it's resources are somehow lacking...if you need a lift assist to a call, or ALS, good luck. Overall, this company expects you to devote everything you have while they crap down your throat and laugh. Do yourself a favor and find an alternative company. I assure you there are better options.
