Pros
Easy to get hired, competitive pay, decent stepping stone to a fire department job, good for new EMT's and paramedics to learn the basics of the job and dealing with patients.
Cons
Extremely poor management, with little to no actual management experience. This company is a huge scam in nearly everything they do, including blatantly illegal processes. Management changes the field providers report to be able to bill more to Medicare, by saying that clearly ambulatory patients required a stretcher. There is very little training involved. Most new employees are shown how the paperwork works, and are not tested on protocols or patient care (you know, the important things). Even in the cases they attempt to fully train an employee, they often get thrown in a rig due to short staffing and call overload. No electronic time cards are used, so that they can change the records to not pay overtime. If you are unfortunate enough to work in a smaller town/station, they will require to you work 'on call' for 12 of the 24 hours, which means they don't have to pay you if there isn't a call, but you have to remain within 10 minutes response area, even if you're in a town 3 hours from home. In the larger metro areas, they take on way too many calls for the available crews. This means you run non-stop, which isn't a bad thing, but when you arrive on scene you realize they have been waiting 3 hours for an emergency response, because dispatch is putting on a backlog of calls.
