Pros

- has good benifits, 401K, medical - wonderful flight crews to work with - some of the other mechanics are fun to work with also you have the opportunity to take manufacturer training classes

Cons

- Air Methods is too big. it started out small and had a close rapport with their employees and fami9lies. but it grew way too big. - it gobbled up many small air ambulance companies, and shoved their company policies down their throats. those small companies cared about their employees. - but once A.M. takes over, and they do take over any interest in its employees withers and dies. employees just become a number - and many of the lower manager just dont seem to have the training t be managers. they promote people to a supervisory position, but too often they dont offer them leadership training

Business Outlook

Pros

The job is meaningful, we affected patients lives. It is a fascinating job, real time and real people were being touched.

Cons

12 hour shifts, usually understaffed. Too many calls to handle, lots of MANDATORY overtime and MAJOR stress. QA would kill you and they were so picky about the crap minor details, but it could get you disciplined, it was definitely punitive and very demoralizing. They kept changing assigned hospitals, and moving our resources. Mistakes are made when you don't know your hospital's requirements well. Mistakes can cost lives. Breaks would be put on hold when the call volume was too high. If you don't get your break you're working for free, and no lunch break, you eat at your desk. They don't pay enough for all the stress and all the crap. Doctors call just to chew you out, and your phone line is recorded so you gotta take it. They treat people like cattle. Leadership could be condescending at times, which is how to discourage people from asking for help. It was a very punitive atmosphere.
