Good company, they attempt to help you succeed

Cons

They over work you, under pay you and don't value your back with all the patient lifting you do.

Pros

Overall this is a great company to work for. They understand that this is a stepping stone and not a career job. Most of the people here are easy to work with and get along with. There are a few burnouts and negative minded people, but that's with every company. They are up to date with technology (EPCR takes a little getting use to). Lots of newer rigs, but occasionally you'll be stuck in the older ones (Private Side). Many opportunities to work private side, fire, CCT, and special events that include, Hockey (Duck Games), motocross, H.S. Games, marathons, etc.

Cons

Scheduling can sometimes be difficult, especially when its comes to asking time off for Fire/PD test, since everyone else is trying to get it off to test or around the holidays unless you can swap shifts with someone who's willing to pick it up and use your PTO. Pay could always be a little better especially with the continuous growth of the company. Most of Operation Managers are very laid back, but a few have power trip issues, if you do what your suppose to do and fly under the radar you won't ever have to worry about it.

Former OC and LA EMT

Pros

Care is one of the biggest companies that offers 911 experience in the OC/LA area which is hard to come by. They are well organized compared to other companies out there, they have newer rigs and equipment and try to stay on top of the newest and greatest thing. They are one of the few companies that still offer 24 hr shifts which is a huge plus with a school schedule.

Cons

Where to begin....the LA stations are terrible. Bad locations in crappy neighborhoods and not kept up at all. Bugs, old beds, nasty recliners that are questionable to sit on let alone sleep on. Posting is a must at all hours of the night whenever you are not on a call which means no sleep and means cranky EMTs. Favoritism is at an all time high, if you are a cute girl Nd get a DUI you can get a pay raise and work in dispatch, but if you are a guy start sending in your applications because you will get fired. The driving policies are left up to the "discretion" of the driving manager. Don't come to a full and complete stop while running code expect to be off drivers status for 6 months, hit a car while driving when they are short drivers, 3 weeks without a drivers status is good enough. Morale among the old timers is non existent, the new guys still don't realize what really goes on once you strip off the glitz and glam of running 911. Management can be cool, but most of them are on such a power that they forget where they came from and what it's like to be an EMT. EMTs are constantly talked down to by management.
