Kontras
dispatch is demanding, they threaten emts on the field if they do not run a call after there off time. dispatch is all the way in new York, they are aways calling to see when your "clear time" is when you haven't even made patient contact. dispatch never knows what they are doing you can easily be on hold for 20 min for a question, after being hung up or sent to Voicemail three times. the company honestly cares more about money that their actual patients. they want EMTs to work fast but fast in a way where they put patient care in risk. i was with the company when it was bought out, and let me tell you it has gotten worse and worse everyday. from management to dispatch. i do not recommend this company unless you do not mind doing some illegal things or getting yelled at for caring for the patient too much. Rigs are old and most of the time they are not working, they are in and out of the mechanic shop. no working lights and sirens. so much to talk about but in 5 words, do not trust this company as your employer!
