Pros
The pay is the best among private services in the region and fairly competitive even with the local FD's. A decently strong union, which provides an environment where people generally feel secure in their jobs. All ambulances are new-ish and the medical equipment is in good shape. If there are operational problems, management is fairly quick to address them.
Cons
System Status Management is a bit of a drag, at least we have some quarters to use but there are not nearly enough. No night differential. Very little incentive to advance in the organization. Scheduling requirements placed on part-timers are overly stringent in my opinion.
