Hey There,
I am considering relocating to Bakersfield, CA. To work for Hall Ambulance. I had a few questions before I do so. Does anyone work there now or have you worked there in the past that can help me out?
1.) What is the starting pay for EMT/EMT-P?
2.) Are there usually extra shifts available?
3.) Are there scheduled hourly rate increases?
[ are you paid straight pay for 8hr, then time 1/2 after, then double after 12]
4.) It seems there might be animosity between Fire Dept's in the responding area (more so than usual) and Hall ambulance crews. Is this severe, and ridiculous, to the extent that the Fire Dept is very reluctant to help on-scene, and the whole call is just uncomfortable (hostile work environment), etc.
5.) Is it an effective system with only one Paramedic on-scene?
6.) How are the EMT's and Paramedic's treated by Hospital staff i.e. RN's, Md's, etc?
7.) Do you call ahead via radio and give a report to a radio RN, or are you just giving a heads up of your ETA?
8.) How is the management at Hall?
9.) Are the benefits good?
10.) Equipment? is most of the equipment in good working order? e.g rigs, etc?
11.) Anything else you can add. That would help me make an informed decision of possibly relocating, and working for this company.
Thank you
