Business Outlook
Pros
12 hour roating shifts, no mandatory, dispatch staff and management above average environment. Multifunction dispatchers- Fire, EMS, 911 EMD and EFD calltaking, nonemergency dispatching and calltaking.
Cons
Classic private service expectations. Always short staffed, benefits are ok, pay "highest" in the region, the region as a whole is underpaid. Comparison to benefits at 911 dispatch centers, 911 benefits and pay are way better. Dispatching for EMS is a nightmare bc the EMS side is a nightmare in itself. Dispatching for the Fire side is ok, but they lack consistency themselves but they demand consistency from everyone else.
