Pros
-Flexible scheduling, -low pressure, -work as little/much as you want -Gain relevant experience to move on to bigger/better things!
Cons
-$11/hour EMT-B starting rate -Long shifts averaging 13-14+ hours. -Call bonus is $4.50/call. However, the company takes advantage of their employees and does not pay this call bonus for "lift assist" calls, or medicar transports, instead they will misuse BLS crews when the medicar is not available. Basically, the call bonus is misrepresented and should not be counted on as consistent income -6 day orientation is useless for the most part and does not prepare you for the job. -Executive leadership threaten and intimidate staff against joining labor unions (probably so they don't have to pay livable wages) -Your initial uniform set costs $150, (for cheap polyester shirts) so MedEx deducts bi-weekly in $30 increments from your paychecks to recover the cost.
