Pros

- Sprinters are more fun to drive than Fords (Falck mostly has Sprinters) - 6% 401k match*** pretty freaking impressive - to gain a few months experience to get a better job

Cons

The academy is very rah rah and gets you excited which is awesome, but then I start working and I noticed a lot of poor management practices, poor incentives i.e. FTOs get an extra $7 after tax for training employees which doesn't create incentive to train well, and doesn't make them feel like they're recognized as an important part of the company. Literally every single employee will have their first five days of field training to judge the company based on how the FTO perceives it. (I was not an fto) $0.60 pay bump to work CCT is laughable. (I did not work cct) There is a pay drop if you work ALS based on the way overtime works. (I did not work als) Driving down to Contra Costa every single shift from Sac gets tiring. This is required due to lack of coverage in the bay due to inadequate wages.

Thanks for taking the time to review your experiences and providing your advice to management whilst working at Falck. It's disappointing that you did not remain longer in the organization to experience the global changes occurring as a result of the transformation. I have however passed on your feedback deeper across the organization for their positive action. I wish you every success in your new role.

Pros

Experience, networking, friendships, schedules, that’s about it

Cons

There are a lot of them but it’s what you make of it. Keep your head down and don’t deal with management.
