Pros

Rewarding work with some very passionate and professional employees. Pay is generally on par with other EMS companies.

Cons

Management, from middle level to higher levels, look out only for themselves. In fact, most managers seem to have little management experience. Management will only look out for themselves and their favorites. I watched numerous managers sweep safety violations under the rug, and then in the next instant, one pilot's minor mistake sees him get the axe. If you need a job, take a job with Air Methods while you look for something else.

Pros

Fast growing company. Financially stable and many opportunities for professional growth. Safe and ethical and on the leading edge of critical care transport. Largest provider in the nation. Benefits are above average with a competitive 401K match.

Cons

Company is NOT employee focused and the employees feel it and therefore resent the senior leadership. It is a fast paced organization with constant change... if you like this environment, you will love it; if you have difficulty adapting to change, you will not be happy here.
