Pros
Decent pay for EMT's, marginal for Medics, and good for the RN's. Busy system in the Bay Area gets you lots of solid experience if you're just starting out. Great benefits, great HR team. They give you nice stuff for your uniforms. Newer ambulances. Decent dispatchers. Good paramedics on ALS units, and some good RN's on CCT.
Kontras
Terrible managers. They would hire people for one station and "give them the opportunity" to work somewhere else. They hired one person living in Jackson to work in Sacramento, and then made her work in Concord, which is over 2 hours away. They hired a bunch of new EMTs to work in Concord, with no intentions of telling them they were moving the station almost an hour south in less than a month. Brian Hubbell, the Bay general manager makes false promises to everyone and can't be trusted. No stairchairs! They have like, one stairchair for each region. The supervisors don't like to listen to the Medics and EMT's in the field. "We need a lift assist," shouldn't have to be a debate with a supervisor.
