      Horrid, horrid, horrid place to work...

      Pros

      Cool people to work with on ground level. Pay is decent if you can get it. You will get a raise yearly.

      Cons

      Too many to list. Upper management is horrible, they have no regard for ground level employees, you are expected to work your job and probably 2 others with no extra pay or perks. Management worries more about please the stock investors than an employee's health. You will be worked to death. They play favoritism, there is no room ever for advancement, they prefer to hire outside companies to replace employees where to can to save cash, overall morale is beyond low in the company. They have a great PR department that gets paid to make this company look good on the outside, but really if you talk to employees they will tell you to run and never look back. This company has a high employee turn over rate. I'm pretty sure alot of these so called good company ratings are done by PR folks at Air Methods just to make this company look good. Oh yeah yearly raises are like pocket change. Benefits suck. They have one of the worst medical plans you will pay through the nose with copayments alone. List goes on and on...

      Pros

      It is a good place to get started. If you like doing public relations then you have found your home.

      Cons

      Doing the PR for the Business Ops people and wondering what they do, which is nothing.

      Grueling hours, mandatory overtime, and no hope for relief

      Communications specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will get to work with top professionals in the aviation, and medical industries. You will get a true sense of satisfaction from playing a role in the saving of another person's life. You will grow a bond with your co-workers that can only be formed by sharing in a trying experience.

      Cons

      The job is a combination of being an air traffic controller and an emergency 911 dispatcher, two of the most stressful jobs a person can have. This leads to a fairly quick turnover and being constantly short staffed. Admin in Denver is constantly trying to find new programs to add to increase their profit margin, but they can't manage to staff the programs they already have. Individual communication specialists are responsible for upwards of 15 aircraft each and are hounded for any mistake they make. Also, people are responsible for taking on call shifts in case someone on the opposite shift calls out sick. Unfortunately, staffing is so low that on-call has become mandatory overtime. Some people had to work 20 twelve hour shifts in the month of June. Admin is hiring people as fast as they can, but less than half of the people hired make it through the training process, and those that do quickly learn to start looking for alternative employment. On top of all of this, supervisors and shift leads are encouraged to micromanage communication specialists by deciding which resources they should use, how they should spend their down time, and by crushing and morale or camaraderie boosting activities by labeling them as distractions to the mission.
