Business Outlook

Pros

autonomy in patient care cool office (helicopter!)

Cons

Demands on time for "mandotory" meetings, training, and travel make it nearly impossible to maintain a life outside of Air Methods - especially since you will have to work a second job to cover the loss of income associated with poor working wages.

Pros

The single best thing about working at Air Methods was the satisfaction of knowing that everything I did was because of the value the entire line team represented to an individual and their family in possibly saving their lives.

Cons

Leadership is inept due to the fact that there is less than 2% of the corporate leadership had/has never flown the line. They are only concerned with satisfying their shareholders and numbers and spreadsheets are the only metric. Having an attrition rate of greater than 29% is telling enough. People don't leave companies. They leave leadership or the lack there of.

Pros

I received some of the best educational experiences at AMC including yearly cadaver lab training, HPS, regional training, etc. I enjoyed working there, and felt that I received good support as an employee. Good pay.

Cons

Like an corporation, there is a lot of shotgun therapy. Paperwork is overwhelming at times.
