Typical mid level firm with no real vision

Pros

Good benefits and competitive pay. The company does attempt to take care of it's employees while keeping stock holders happy. Good work life balance, unless your in the field.

Cons

No real vision for the future, or how to improve. Very little training for anyone moving up in the company, your thrown in and it's really sink or swim with a 5lbs weight.

Greed!

Pros

This is a VERY easy job. The pay is fairly good and in my opinion, the 401K is great, particularly for those who can afford to participate at a high rate. The helicopters are in good shape. These are why I hold my nose and recommend this jobs for my friends.

Cons

I am personally embarrassed by this company's greed. The tomorrow that they are defending is their fiduciary responsibility to the major investor's desire to see tomorrow's AIRM share price rise. I feel sorry for the customers who do not need a $45K fifteen mile helicopter ride because one of our business managers convinced a first responder to call us even though we are clearly not medically indicated. On top of that, by waiting for the helicopter on such a short haul patient care is actually delayed! Plain and simply greed. In the low income rural area where I am based there is a growing dislike of our service because of the HUGE bills and unnecessary flights.
