Rural Metro Az

Eeeeewwwww.
 
No wonder they can't retain people. I wouldn't even interview at those rates.
 
Yea you guys are def making me not want to interview. But i literally just got my cert. Would AMR even consider me
 
Are those 24 hr rates? If so that's 45k for medics which is standard.

Rural metro pays the same for 24 or 12 hour trucks. 24 cars run a Kelly or abc straight depending what department you support.
12 cars run either a 4/4 or 3/4 split.

AMR only operates 12 hour cars on a 3/4 split in maricopa county.

Can't hurt to apply. I will say competition is going to be tough because they are getting a lot of seasoned medics and EMTs from rural.

I'm not from your area, so I feel a bit out of place in putting in my two cents, but since Rural Metro has operated locally where I live I can tell you that pay is horrible. In fact, RM just lost the contract for my city (160,000 people) to Paramedics Plus. It seems RM is suffering every place they are at. I've looked at Arizona for my first medic job when I graduate, but I keep getting warned away from RM.

So, this is me passing on what I know. Cheers.
 
Well you guys have given me a lot to think about, I'm still going for the interview today if/when they offer me a job I'll take it based on if the pay is worth it
 
FAIL "what comes first airway or cspine?"
In my head "what comes first" = more important, i realized when i got to my car she meant what literally comes first in the assesment

Don't sweat that one, I was asked that and they are moreso looking for the reasoning behind your choice.
 
Lost contract?
 
AJFD is taking over ALS transports come January. SW will do the BLS leftovers. There is a rumour gaining steam that a complete EMS rebid is in the works as several trucks are transitioned from 24 hours to 12 because they are slow at night. Its been discussed before so I wouldn't be shocked if its actually coming to fruition
