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

Pros

It is a small busy county, their is good and bad leadership like all AMR divisions. But overall since I came from another county its great comparatively. Leadership is laid back which is great and not so great at times. Most co-workers are awesome but we have a few duds. Pay is decent and you can live on it. Sheriffs are great and most local PD (depending on city) are good to work with. We are held to a higher standard of ALS care then FD's so I am proud to say the care level we provide is amazing compared to local departments. It has its issues but at other divisions the supervisors never showed up to the ER with pizza when we were slammed, here they do. Some supervisors will even take a shift or two when we were short staffed so we could get a day off. So even with the negatives I would say this is a good spot to be, its has the potential to be great though.

Cons

-Leadership is laid back so that can be frustrating at times when things can take a day or two to get resolved. -Local FD's- most but not all their medics are not up to date with skills, overall knowledge or protocols. They can be an outright nightmare to run calls with at times. -Local hospitals have poorly trained staff, very few good MD's who are ER certified and MCN's who know when to turn patients away and when not to. When the good ones are on they take all patients and do not turn you away -FD politics and behavior sometimes makes you want to call the local paper and put them on blast. They will constantly withhold treatment till your arrival, or make the all too familiar statement of "I don't want any paperwork today"
