Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Education has financial support: the S.T.A.R. programme assists eligible employees while they continue working.
Full-time benefits include retirement saving: the careers site lists a 401(k) alongside its insurance package.
Station transfers support mobility: the Schaumburg paramedic vacancy lists opportunities to move between locations throughout the company.

What critics are saying

Driving includes difficult conditions: the Illinois paramedic posting requires safe vehicle operation at night and in inclement weather.
Driver schedules extend beyond weekdays: the courtesy-van vacancy requires availability for nights and weekends.
Van work requires lifting: the courtesy-driver posting specifies the ability to lift at least 50 pounds.

What makes Superior Ambulance unique

Ownership remains with a family: the company describes itself as independent, family owned and operated.
Dispatch is operated internally: Superior owns four communications centres that coordinate ambulances within their respective states.
Disaster response extends nationally: Superior acts as a FEMA contractor deploying ambulances, personnel and supplies.
