Honest review. Poor working conditions for field crews in the Central Az sector
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
