It will be interesting to see what happens with Monrovia and the children's hospital contracts. I bet care will make a bid for Monrovia and who knows for chla.
Also as a follow-up I heard that the Imperial Valley has been hard for many ambulance companies in the past due to many migrant workers not having insurance or medi-cal which pays basically nothing for transports.
It is incredibly sad to see one of the most historic ambulance companies in the...
Things went downhill for Schaefer after they lost the Foothill lacofd contract. It was definitely weird not seeing Schaefer working in Pomona. I guess it sounds like the company was ran into the ground by current management / ownership. Mr. Schaefer is rolling in his grave.
If their hiring process is similar to Ventura which I'm sure it is, the hiring process is pretty easy. Interview with operations, easy physical test (gurney lifting, carrying a first in bag and monitor up stairs and down .... Ect). A week or two of classroom training. FTO. Basically the same...
Interviewed today and got a job offer a couple hours later. Looking to possibly jump ship out of LA county / care. Anyone have some more current information on amr operations in Ventura? Are they still union?? Starting emt pay? Any possibility of getting a 24? Most everything I found here was...
Haha junior.... You have no idea who I am or how long I have been around. Keep talking old timer.
AMR can and will do what it wants so why get all serious about it.
Clearly you didn't get the joke, but whatever...you old timers on this site are funny.
It's obvious they only want mccormick because of the previously lost la county contracts. I'm sure in the end it's a good thing for current mccormick employees but what do I know.
I started as an emt at liberty. Honestly my experience was pretty good. In the beginning my schedule sucked but with time and getting to know people you can and will get a better schedule. As for management.... Well it's an ift company and management sucks. I never had an issue with getting time...
I understand what your saying and it is correct. I have always heard them called fire shifts of fire cars. When you work with lacofd every shift is just becomes second nature
Just to clear things up. Care is starting all new hires on fire shifts if they want them. Basically forcing people to work in the new areas. So if you want to work fire right away you can. There are plenty of open fire shifts.
I wouldn't apply to care right now unless you are willing or want to work out of Irwindale or Baldwin park. We really need help in the new areas. Simply not enough day cars staffed for Pomona right now.
