Honest Review from a Medic

Recommend

Pros

You'll get your paychecks on time. There's as much OT to pick up as you want, typically with a bonus stipend (for now, not sure how long that'll last). Shifts vary quite a bit, so you have your choice to choose from many, although that's for OT only. If you're new here, your regular shifts are decided by seniority points. Expect to work the back half of the week (Th, Fr, Sa, EO Wed) on nights for a couple years. Options to go to EMTA or medic school on the company dime, if you're willing to sign 2 years of work to them.

Cons

Low pay for the cost of living. Expect to work as a medic for $15 an hour for the first 6 months until you get a review and then bumped up to just under $18. Practically no downtime between calls. You can expect to run on most nights from hospital to call. FD has scene control and loves to show it. The Union went away last year, and the company is currently picking and choosing policies to follow from under the CBA as it transitions to its new version. All very secretive stuff atm, and personally seems untrustworthy. Management just brought back a policy that was sworn would not be enforced any longer, keeping crews over beyond their 12 hour shift, and also has threatened call backs on days off. As of this writing, the call backs have not happened yet, but holdovers have.

Pros

PTO; 3% raises each year. Great discounts and benefits.

Cons

Communication in the Communication dept. needs a lot of work. In the communications dept., you can ordered in or to stay past your shifts if someone calls out.

Pros

- Benefits are good - Pay is average (but they are making hard cuts to OT) *See cons

Cons

1. Company does not care about their employees 2. Switched over to McKesson for their soft medical supplies. IV set ups fall apart in the middle of treatment, IV catheters are dull and cause unnecessary pain to the patient and an increase in missed/unsuccessful IV access, EKG pads that do not stick under good conditions and are useless with diaphoretic patients. Several complaints have been made to no avail. 3. inter-facility/911 back up ambulances are in horrible condition all the time. They have extremely high mileage, they are filthy, most have AC units that barely work, they ride rough and break down frequently. 4. Management that fails to manage effectively, micromanaging is not managing nor is lazy managing. 5. Very poor employee attitudes. 4 and 5 go hand in hand. 6. Excessive cutting back on full-time hours. Our ability to sustain our home life and pay bills greatly depend on our overtime in this field. We don't get paid what we should as it is. Take away our OT and the risk/liability/high expectations are not worth it. Less pay = less quality employees, high turn over and inability to handle call volumes. -Losing all of our 911 contracts (nowhere for those people to go in the company) Senior crew members will push out a lot of new hires for positions. - Inter-facility hours are being changed/reduced to 12 hour shifts 3/4 per pay period
