For the short duration I was there the job was really pleasant, lots of downtime, hours went by quick, no micro management or supervisor breathing down your neck and I got to meet and interact with some really cool people. I really saw myself working there for a long time. However I was let go due to the fact that something completely unexpected happened that required my immediate attention and wasn't able to go into work on that day. Despite me reassuring that something like that would not happen again and having good reason to have not shown up that day I was let go regardless. There was no phone call to hear me out, no sympathy or empathy, and there was no email or text that I had been let go, they simply kicked me out of the app we used to check schedules and I could pretty much put the rest together. I was also never (and still haven't) been compensated for the hours that I worked and even tried reaching out to someone about the matter and they either ignored me or never bothered to check their texts. 

Overall, it's a good place to work, great coworkers, good hours but completely unsympathetic staff in upper management. 

The only pro is that they are flexible with scheduling and if you need to take off for appointments. Other than that this is not a company that you want to work at for long. Atypical day at the job is going to look like them stuffing you into a car/van that is in serious need of repair. Most of the vans in the lot are rusted and don’t work. Wheelchair lifts don’t work, outdated inspection stickers, broken stretchers, and dirty vehicles that are in constant need of repair. Upon being hired, because you will get hired (they hire anybody and everybody) you will receive mediocre training. Not by the company but by a current employee. So your training will only be as good as the person that is teaching you. Hopefully you received training from someone who knows how to do their job. You’ll receive training for a couple of days before they feed you to the wolves and have you out on the road by yourself. A word of advice DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!! If problems arise they will be so quick to throw you under the bus and have you take the fall. Lastly, the communication throughout the company is terrible!

Start times range anywhere between 4am-9am. I've learned that I don't get paid enough for the work I do. Management doesn't care about anyone/anything. You work as a "team" but with a social disconnect. The hardest part about the job is transporting patients in vehicles that are falling apart. You're rarely praised for the work you do and get harsh attitudes if you make a mistake. All of the vans are falling apart (lots of rust and mechanical issues) and they are all a live representation of how much the owner cares. The most enjoyable parts are helping the patient enjoy a somewhat smooth trip to their appointment(s), and connecting with coworkers that feel the same way you do. The vans are poorly marked and you look like you drive around looking for children. 

This company is poorly run, with one person managing multiple sites- and puts lives and licenses in danger daily. You will never know your end time, as your schedule doesn’t matter to the owner or “dispatcher”- your end time can exceed up to 3 hours after your estimated shift end, and it will. Yes, the money is ok, but not worth a reputation, no life, and your license being i. Jeopardy. If you speak with anyone in the EMS business just ask about their reputation and you’ll get the answers you’re looking for to make your decision- if you care about your reputation as a professional and your license you’ll listen. It’s truly a shame because this business has such great potential 😔

You clock in and check your truck then head to your call. You typically get good downtime from shift start to first call especially as the EMT. Everyone is chill if you’re chill. Management isn’t nagging you as long as you do what you need to do. The people and the long downtime makes the job more enjoyable. Really good job for new EMTs , those living near base, or students who need to balance college and work. Hardest part is no set schedule. You work the random days and times given to you from Monday-Friday unless you request off. And you’ll get little to no OT. 40 hours is the norm. On good weeks you get 50. 

Do not EVER work for this company! The management is terrible and hides from his employees and does not know how to run a company. They lie about benefits. Was told you get medical and said it was to start the 1st of November and still have not obtained insurance.  They say they are for the employees but it is a lie! The company vehicles are pathetic and look as if they've been used in demolition derby events. You do not get bonuses, 401k, paid tuition, or as it seems you get no benefits. Also, read the handbook they say they go over with you as it states that if you do not give 2 weeks notice your pay will be dropped to $7.25/ hour. 

Awesome place to work! I been there for 2 years in medical billing and support staff. Really enjoyed working for this company due to management and good schedule. Very fun group of people who work hard together as a team. Great job opportunities for people who like to be on the go to pick up patients and be on the road. Great for those who are interested in medical field and helping others. Shift are always available and management is flexible to accommodate to schedule changes or family matters. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Run,  do not work for that company!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The Communication,  the vehicles were terrible 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unorganized and no order what's so ever . As long as it was a body(person) to do the work , that's all that mattered ! Which was SAD !!!!!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Picking up Patient's for doctors appointments

This is my second ambulance company I am working for and its completely different than my first one in a good way. Management here is understanding and works with you and your schedule. I never have any problems taking off when I want. The paycheck is really decent to. They have a lot of overtime if you want it. You need to be able to figure stuff out here yourself bc they dont have managers telling you what to do 24/7

This company has always accommodated my schedule and treats me fairly. It is a relatively easy job that allows employees to work independently. Theres some downtime most days so you can eat, get coffee, take a short nap. As long as the job gets done right, nobody bothers you.
