Honestly this company started great, flexibility with schedule for those that had school or other personal life matters. Now the company has become what every other IFT company eventually becomes and here is the brief overview of what what to expect if you’re thinking of joining:
• they want you to gamble for your shifts. Shift bids are every 6 months making it unnecessarily stressful for students to accommodate less work from their end.
• strict 10 hour shifts with no over-time til’ after those 10 and double after your 12th hour of work. (Straight robbery)
•very long transports with passive aggressive dispatchers sending you from Lancaster to Orange County on “asap pick ups” because they can’t coordinate units appropriately.
•uncomfortable access to samsara cameras, constantly watching you and making very uncomfortable remarks about what they’re looking at you do as a form of passive aggressive micromanagement.
•meal penalty’s are nonexistent.
•50¢ raise if you become an FTO, which means more liability and responsibility feels like exploitation.
•Human resource department feels like you’re having a conversation with ChatGPT but without a resolution.
•You’re better off getting your experience at a 911 level, IFT companies like these will burn you out of the passion for the field.
