Pros

Of all the California counties I’ve worked, this one is the easiest to get off on time when doing 911. I love all the baseball and basketball standbys. Free Giants tickets are awesome.

Cons

The homeless situation in SF is no joke. We really don’t do a lot of trauma or serious calls. It seems like most of those go to fire.

Pay is slightly better, but management is poor

Pros

Literally none. Don’t work here. Wait maybe the pay, it’s a little better than most agencies in the area.

Cons

Everything. Poor management. Same lazy, old school managers that ran Rural Metro into the ground. If you want non stop phone calls on your days off asking you to work and have zero work-life balance this is the job for you.
