Leading providers of care, lagging in taking care of employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Air Methods medical crews provide some of the best care in the air medical industry. The company has a very strong dedication to mission safety.

Cons

As the company has grown too fast, they have lost sight of our own stated core values. Increasing disconnect between corporate and base personnel. Pay rates are not matching market from which we need to hire. The company is asking highly experienced nurses and paramedics to leave good paying jobs and come work for significantly small starting pay.
