Pros

The pros are good experience for first time paramedics. Medics are paired with EMTs and most of the fire departments are BLS. Another is the company is nationwide so you can transfer away after your probation. Monitors are Lifepak 15. They are pretty good about vehicle maintenance. Coworkers are friendly and easy to get along with.

Cons

Union is weak and management is not employee friendly. Low pay for working a lot of hours in an area that is expensive to live in.

Pros

Lower people have always seemed great. Always hard working, always willing to teach the newer EMT's and medics. Patient care is held to a very high standard. It's an okay place to start out if you're still living with your parents and don't have to pay rent but don't look at it as long term, especially if you plan to go to Paramedic School down the road. You won't be able to afford it.

Cons

Barely livable wages for the number of hours worked. I had to go on food stamps for awhile. Almost ended up homeless. I was able to skate by doing A LOT of overtime hours. Most of the EMT's in my ops are in the same boat. It's kind of a running joke with us. Medics aren't much better off. Work 50+ hours a week with no lunch breaks, barely able to live on the salary. My advice: search other ambulance services. Most pay their EMT's around $15/hr. You can live off that reasonably and still make your way to paramedic school or pursue a bachelors in nursing down the road.
