Dime-A-Dozen Service

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

As a private EMS service, the pay and benefits are better than government run EMS services.

Cons

You are nothing but a number to this company. As EMS professionals, we are underserved mental health wise as we see the worst of the worst. That is a given, and we know and expect it from the beginning of our careers. However, there will always be those calls that just get to you. Expect ZERO support from this company, ZERO empathy, and unless you keep your mouth shut and keep your pain and internal struggle to yourself, they will find a way to get rid of you because there will always be another warm body with a patch to fill your spot. The current director of operations is a "tough guy" who is quick to sniff out any sign of weakness. If you get injured on the job, you will lose his respect, completely.

Honest Review from a Medic

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

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.
