Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) - Basic Reviews - Page 2

Cons: Admin/HR advertised one job and now we are doing a completely different job. Pay and hours were changed from what was expected. There is zero communication, and admin often avoids giving us answers to questions we ask.

Cons: the way the company is run from the main office and just copy pastes how they run the branches instead of allowing the branches to work around the unique challenges each area has. the disconnect that the upper management of the branches have with the way that some areas are run such as making a guy the manager of a area of operations not someone who has worked in the area or has very limited time in the area. the way dispatch is handled with the crews due to not really understanding the areas that they are dispatching (this only applies to the new Orleans area really) due to this lack of knowlage and how hard it can be to get around in a city like new Orleans they put the crews in positions where you are responding to emergencies that at times even with lights and sirens will take almost an hour to get to calls.

Cons: The commute

Cons: The pay, lack of accountability to management and dispatchers and abuse of company and public if EMS personnel.

Cons: My pay rate compare to other employee. In other words, I get pay less compare to those who have little to none experience

Cons: The traffic

Cons: My mental health is in the toilet, I never see my family, I work a minimum of 48 hours a week and still can't pay our bills, the insurance sucks, new management is horrendous, I can go on forever.
