Falck/Protransport

[EMT2015]

Does anyone have any experience with Falck or Protransport??

 

[TheLocalMedic]

Yeah... just use them as a stepping stone on the way to working for a better company. Falck/VeriHealth and Protrans both know that EMTs are a dime-a-dozen and treat their employees accordingly.

Thanks! What is the best company to work for?

In the bay area? There are several with good reputations. If you're a newbie I'd honestly just start applying everywhere to get a foot in the door and start getting "experience" (even if you're just doing BLS IFTs). If you're looking at BLS IFT work, I'd pick Falck over Protrans for numerous reasons that I won't get into here... But don't be afraid to commute if the pay is worth it.

Yes, in the Bay area. I did have a job with R/M IFT, but had to turn it down due to some personal reasons and I will not be going back to R/M. @TheLocalMedic - Do you think you could pm me with your reasons? Thank you

I don't speak for him, but I would say the same, because of pay and lack of the CARE system.

 

[EMT2015]

That seems to be the general theme I've heard from a lot of people.

Well. Falck is less of a nightmare to work for, PT1 has one of the most ridiculous systems for EMTS who chose to work there longer than 18 months. (Bidding, pay, morale ect).
Personally I enjoyed working at falck more but...that's me

Good to know! Thanks
