Pros

Pay seems comparable to the market

Cons

Short staffed and employees are overworked and tired. I started as entry level and every time I promoted my position was not backfilled due to “not having the headcount available”. Ultimately, ended up doing three peoples jobs on top of other duties outside of my job description. Starting work at 6am and not finishing until about 9pm just so we wouldn’t fall behind in my department went unappreciated and concerns unheard. After 8 months of complaints I finally just had to quit. Then I was offered the support needed to help maintain a better work/life balance. I declined as it should not take eight months of asking for help with the workload. It took my giving a notice to make some actions happen. Turnover is extremely high and not worth making work friends cause they will all quit and move on. Even employees being there 10+ years just up and leave due to lack of staffing. But company will spend lots of unnecessary money on other projects and things when if we train and run our departments correctly we will be financially stronger instead of putting band-aid fixes and coughing up $100k+ each time.

Pros

Expanded scope of practice, interesting work that's fun and different every day, and most people you work with are relatively easy to get along with. 90% routine; 10% stressful & terrifying.

Cons

No real HR department. If you happen to have a crappy boss or someone in power at your base doesn't like you, they will make up a reason to make you go away. Also non-union so you don't have rights like you do in a traditional hospital setting. The pay isn't great. The clinical independence and autonomy is fun, but it can also get a little sketchy because you're making these decisions very quickly, on little sleep, and with little to no information. I was shocked to find out that our HR dept is virtually non-existent. No published office hours, no organizational structure, no supervisors, no oversight, and no one answers phone calls or emails. This is sadly not an exaggeration. Published company policies are generic and vague, with varying degrees of enforcement by management. Nothing is ever in writing until a manager needs it to be, and then they'll just summon an HR rep to write it out for them as their needs require to make it legitimate... and use all that to take action against you. Just so I make myself clear, keep in mind that you have no rights here. It's quite insane. Any minimum standards for a company HR dept you've come to expect from being out in the workforce simply don't exist at Air Methods. Wish I had known that going in.

Pros

Benefits and the crews were great

Cons

Poor executive leadership. CEO is looking for yes people not good people. Sales is a disaster and operations is afraid of the CEO. Toxic culture and getting worse. Will fire employees for any reason and keep others that have done worse. Its all about clicks and kissing up to the right executives. Open and close bases with no plan. "Hunters" know nothing about building a base and are not held accountable. Need new aircraft and better leaders. HR does nothing to make sure diversity is a priority.
