They don't care about you

Flight paramedic

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Only work two days a week, so you can work part time somewhere else if you get approval to do it and, or you can travel a lot

Cons

Everything else. They will shut down bases with no notice and give you a couple weeks to transfer or you're SOL. They don't care about people, just money.

Pros

Cool product, and a noble mission. Successful US owned and managed company in an established industry. Management well intentioned, and vested in the success of the business.

Cons

Struggles with supporting employees. Behind the times and the market in basics like IT and HR. Welcome to 1988! Frustrating, but trying to be better.

Leading providers of care, lagging in taking care of employees

Flight nurse

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Air Methods medical crews provide some of the best care in the air medical industry. The company has a very strong dedication to mission safety.

Cons

As the company has grown too fast, they have lost sight of our own stated core values. Increasing disconnect between corporate and base personnel. Pay rates are not matching market from which we need to hire. The company is asking highly experienced nurses and paramedics to leave good paying jobs and come work for significantly small starting pay.
