Before going in I learned all about Hall and The owner. They serve an area the size of new jersey, Harvey Hall is the mayor of Bakersfield and is in his 4th term of office. Etc.

Don't waste your time down there. If I would have came to hall from the beginning id already be a 4 yr medic.
You'd probably be a relief supervisor by now if you started your career at Hall. And oh man I'm laughing my *** off at some of these comments.

They will not work with you. If you can do school, great. They won't make an exception for you.

Hall has a reputation of crushing anyone trying to move onto their turf. I still remember the lawyer prepared letters telling us to piss off or else. Otherwise I always hear great things about them and everyone I talk to who works for Harvey says the pay is great. Almost to a cult like following lol

Cults have to trick you into following them. Hall doesn't have to use trickery!

Hall is great for CA, but Texas still beats both hands-down.

Falck is still restricted by county protocols. Doesn't matter how good a company is of the county policies are wacko

It happens to deal with medical/fire standby for offroading events. Harvey found out that we where doing some medical standby in his AOR and flipped. We did basic fire suppression, extraction, and medical standby but would not transport. Fire Marshal always signed off on the event permits. Harvey thought in his mind we where working around the system. Fire Marshal backed us up but Harvey put his army of lawyers to work. In the long run Harvey got his way and had at least a BLS with two EMTs at the event charging $150 an hour.

There are still companies that do exactly that, with Hall Ambulance there for transport.
