Horrid, horrid, horrid place to work...

Anonymous employee

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

The pay is the only thing good here.

Cons

Everything is wrong with this Call Center in Omaha, NE (DIRECT CALL). Poor management no experience in healthcare field. Supervisors are high school kids who act like they are GOD. Leads are horrible young no experience in anything and have no idea of how be in a management position.

Botom of the barrel as far as employers go

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good front line people and good for investors. This is where AMC spends all its time; focusing on stock value and never appreciating who got them there. Senior management blames every problem on the folks below them, takes all the credit when stock value goes up.

Cons

Middle management level up to CEO are inept, greedy, dishonest and back stabbers. When anything goes wrong, they play the blame game.
