Pros

Dispatching helicopters is really cool. Benefits are good. Pay is only good when there is overtime available.

Cons

The training is horrible. They just hand you over to whoever is available and hope for the best.

Business Outlook

Pros

- has good benifits, 401K, medical - wonderful flight crews to work with - some of the other mechanics are fun to work with also you have the opportunity to take manufacturer training classes

Cons

- Air Methods is too big. it started out small and had a close rapport with their employees and fami9lies. but it grew way too big. - it gobbled up many small air ambulance companies, and shoved their company policies down their throats. those small companies cared about their employees. - but once A.M. takes over, and they do take over any interest in its employees withers and dies. employees just become a number - and many of the lower manager just dont seem to have the training t be managers. they promote people to a supervisory position, but too often they dont offer them leadership training

Business Outlook

Pros

401(k), Lots of good people at the line level. The satisfaction of doing something that saves lives. Better than average pay for some specialities.

Cons

Management. Some VP's were very good at looking out for their people, others not so much. Disparity between regions had some employees enjoying promised perks while others were forced to do without. In extreme cases, covering vehicle/travel expenses out of their own pocket, while others enjoyed premium rental vehicles, and other niceties.
