Pros

Independence, flexible work schedules. Great life/work balance. Ability to move freely within the company. Lots of advancement opportunities. Plenty of overtime and sometimes double time. Time and a half $$$ after 8 hours on every shift. Serve a very large and diverse population base. Educational opportunities and scholarships for those who seek it. Limited management oversight?as long as you’re doing your job). Very well organized union.

Cons

Negative attitudes. A lot of the personnel feel entitled to earning a higher wage with limited education or time with the organization. The young mindset generate their complaints from the public industry counterparts who put in a substantially more amount of work hours. Health benefits and 401k contribution could use improvement (8/4% match).

Pros

There’s a good workforce here with employees who are well united on issues a strong sense that the company is actually pushing toward a positive future in terms of operations. Ambulance fleet seems to be getting good upgrades and call volume (in most areas) is manageable. There is also a good amount of OT available with bonuses/incentives available. Matching 401k is nice and health benefits are very reasonable.

Cons

For being such a large operation, the pay rate seems to be lacking as of right now. Most employees with adult responsibilities are having to rely heavily on overtime/incentives just to have a semi-comfortable lifestyle outside of work. Uniforms definitely need improvements and training for new EMTs seems a bit lackluster. The morale can be low at times also due to the company being write-up happy (for lack of a better term). Lack of 24 hour units and proper posting locations makes for a somewhat harsh work day as well.
