Vantaggi
Great trucks, equipment. Plenty of overtime for those that want the extra hours. Typically very flexible with scheduling ie will work around schooling. Education opportunities for employees. There’s a station dog now so there’s always that I guess.
Svantaggi
Jesus. Where do I start? Not uncommon to have 6 or less trucks covering a county of over 200,000 people. Company refuses to raise pay to equal that of nearest regional competitor MedStar. Still plays on average $2 less per hour. 12 hour scheduled shifts become 13 to 14 plus hour shifts due to call volume and lack of staffing. 45 minute response times that make you as a provider look horrible. If something bad happens because of said response time the company will blame the paramedic or EMT.
