Pros

Came from working for a County EMS, so get a lot more down time. Learning a lot, pay is pretty good, schedule is great. Good co-workers.

Cons

Management is questionable, not sure if they are qualified. They promote from within but this means promoting nurses and paramedics a lot of whom do not have managerial experience and it shows.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Good place to work while looking for another job, starting a business, or thinking about another career.

Cons

The work schedule and work life is very much like "Groundhog Day". Too many managers to even remotely keep track of. You have pretty much zero responsibilities outside of flying the aircraft and making sure it is clean. Do not expect to be fulfilled or inspired by your day to day activities. There is no incentive to go above and beyond the scope of your normal duties because absolutely no one above you will notice. I don't think there is much room for advancement, I've never seen any job postings that would offer such an opportunity or met a manager who has even described a way to advance despite announcing interest multiple times. It's probably very similar to how a factory worker or 1950's coal miner feels. Show up, get paid, move on.
