Bad Management - EMT-Basic Apex Paramedics Employee Review

Pros

Working with other EMTs and Paramedics is great

Cons

Management only cares about making money, they don’t care about their employees but act like they do. Interview and training just felt... wrong, dying interview, they don’t want to get to know you they want to tell you about themselves. First meeting you have with the owner, all he talks about is how much he hates AMR and how much money he has. They still have manual stretchers and will sent crews to pick up patients over 300 pounds with the manuals. Pay for EMTs is incredibly low. Paramedics pay is decent but they do just as much, if not less work them the EMTs do at this company. They send their crews back late all the time (sometimes over an hour late) and will have you drive over an hour in horrible weather conditions. Dispatch plays favorites and will run less liked crews to the ground. Lots of 12 hour days with no break. If they tell you they care about their employees, they say that because you make them money while they pay you close to nothing.

Pros

Great pay (for medics, sorry EMTs), paid training even for part-time staff, some calls are interesting. Direct field supervisors are pretty solid. The trucks are *mostly* parked inside buildings, so no cold/hot day set-ups. Very inclusive employer, promotes diversity. Opportunities are presented internally for promotion (field supervisors, trainers, management) and tend to be given fairly.

Cons

It's private IFT, don't expect most days to be exciting. You will status-post, meaning long hours sat in a cramped truck. The ambulances are van-bulances, not a lot of room to move around and the par levels of equipment is always fluctuating. The Colorado Springs operation is the red-headed step child to the Denver Ops, don't expect to be treated the same. Management is a bit out of touch, though they try to bridge that gap. They will make random changes for no particular reason and not give explanations for it until there is backlash. The CEO tends to be a ghost unless an event is happening. Can't speak for benefits since part-timers don't get them, but I've heard they're not great.
