CVFD is a mid-sized, ALS transport fire department with a strong EMS workload, operating a standard metro setup: multiple engine companies, dual truck companies, a USAR component, and integrated ambulance transport.
A department that at initial glance seems like a thriving and growing department with lots of upside potential. However when seen from the inside, proves to be ridden with toxic leadership, laughable working conditions, harassment and lack of accountability.
The battalion chiefs are somehow union protected but also your supervisor which is wild conflict of interest.
The battalion chiefs additionally, including Jeremy Czapinski specifically, are horrible at their jobs. They are seemingly robots who don’t understand common sense. 90% of the higher ups are completely two faced and will treat you with such a level of disrespect that you couldn’t imagine. It doesn’t just exist at the chief level, disrespect is received from all levels of command.
The working conditions are horrible, with no limit on how much mandatory overtime you can be put on.
Work here and say goodbye to the family life, expect disrespect and horrible management and a city full of the worst people to surround yourself – but be told that you’re paid enough to forget about all that.
0/10.
Fuck you Chula Vista Fire Department. Worst job I ever had.
