Pros

Great protocols and equipment. Treat employees good when compared to AMR and other for-profit EMS providers. Coming from Southern California working there as an EMT for 10+ years, the call volume is slow and the schedule is great.

Cons

Just coming into this century when it comes to how EMS is run. They're a little behind but are making attempts to catch up quickly. Also, health insurance coverage is horrific. I thought I had it bad when I was covered by Kaiser back home. But this is really bad. And the fact that all my care is received at the same hospital I work for just adds insult to injury.

Pros

Good base rate: starts at 30 with 10k sign on bonus Weekend program gets an extra 9.50 an hr Diffs are Evenings: 2. Nights: 4. Weekends: 1.5

Cons

Very short staffed They mark everyone as “average” on performance reviews so they only have to give you a 3% raise Last year due to “budget cuts” they only gave every person a 2.5% raise even those 1/3 of our staff had quit. We have like half of the staffing we used to have If you spend the night during a snow storm you don’t get anything for it
