Pros

9 sets of uniforms custom fitted for free 150$ boot voucher every 2 years Weather-resistant hazard yellow jacket free Blue EMS crash scene helmet free Orientation classes such as "how to assist a Paramedic", "how to assist a CCT RN" that provide instruction on how to assist with IVs, 12-Leads, Ventilators, Heart Monitors, CPAP, etc.. all free and required. Free renewal classes for every kind of certification they require Your day to day partners feel like family because we all are out running calls and doing our best to help each other.

Cons

Scheduling Managers do not help out the worker. They need to fill their quotas and that's it. Very hard (all but impossible) to get your PTO request accepted Shift schedules are mandated by the "BID". A bi-annual bid for shifts based on seniority. plenty of people have been in the division for years and never want to retire. If you area new hire just count on working possibly for a full year on your 20th choice for a schedule-- all the other shifts will be taken by the time you get a chance to throw your pick into it.
