Pros

Good people on the ground level, never missed a paycheck and it has always cashed.

Cons

This private ambulance service consistently prioritizes profit over the well-being of both patients and employees. This manifests in multiple ways: a chronic shortage of ambulances and essential medical equipment, and the routine dismissal of employee concerns about these issues by management. Ambulances are in a state of disrepair with high mileage, subpar equipment, and frequent breakdowns. Essential tools like radios, tablets, and the LOGIS system are often malfunctioning. This not only creates a challenging and stressful work environment for employees but also potentially compromises the quality of patient care. Furthermore, this disregard for employee feedback and basic operational needs fosters a demoralizing and unsafe atmosphere. It leads to low morale, high turnover rates, and ultimately, a decline in the ability to provide timely and effective emergency medical services. This situation raises serious ethical concerns about the company's commitment to its core mission of patient care. The company is also okay and happy with paying their employees lest than a fast food worker to save people's lives. It's appalling.
