Great compensation, terrible education, worse administration

Don't believe the hype. You can make a decent living here, and get 100% paid for health benefits. The pros end there. No, FDNY is NOT the best trained. Not by a long shot. It's actually pretty pathetic how low the standards are here. Administration? Couldn't care less. Numbers numbers numbers. That's it.

Exciting work environment.

Professional and mostly pleasant work environment. Like most Civil Service occupations the work is mostly expected with little to no recognition of a job well done. Fair chances for advancement.
