This is just a heads up for those thinking to apply at Medlife.
Short story: Don't.
Long story: Once upon a time this BLS company was amazing. It cared about its employees and one of irs greatest accomplishments was firing emts left and right like we were garbage.
In LA County that is something hard to come by. Not that I've ever been at risk or had this problem, but it was nice to know my company had my back.
Those days are gone.
This company survived a meltdown just to thaw out and piss itself away. The company was shut down by LA County but managed to claw its way back to the BLS ranks.
They promised the EMTS the raised they deserved in return for their support and allegiance. I reluctantly returned but couldn't turn down a 24 hour shift. 24 hour BLS shifts are easily dying out in LA and OC.
However, we no longer have 24 hour shifts. They were yanked out from under us for the sheer reason that they couldn't manage to get us breaks or give us partners that didn't have DUIS to work with.
Even though we were BLS we ran nonstop. Back to back calls. No breaks. No rest. No sympathy.
We were asked to do day cars after our 24s and if we didn't we often were not treated nice.
It was here I saw the company was souring and began looking elsewhere for employment
The company is now under several lawsuits and trying to stay afloat. I can't imagine they will be around for more than another year. Time will tell.
I personally hope they burn. I hope for all the people they lied to mistreated and kicked when they were down that they get eliminated from he roster.
I heard they're even closing down their OC station.
Please, stay away from Medlife. You may google and find it was once a great company to work for but this is no longer true.
Feel free to ask questions as well.
Hope you all liked my overly dramatic tale of woe
But I'm glad I was here. I learned that when things start to sour they don't always turn around. hope don't fix ****. Action does
