Pros

This is a VERY easy job. The pay is fairly good and in my opinion, the 401K is great, particularly for those who can afford to participate at a high rate. The helicopters are in good shape. These are why I hold my nose and recommend this jobs for my friends.

Cons

I am personally embarrassed by this company's greed. The tomorrow that they are defending is their fiduciary responsibility to the major investor's desire to see tomorrow's AIRM share price rise. I feel sorry for the customers who do not need a $45K fifteen mile helicopter ride because one of our business managers convinced a first responder to call us even though we are clearly not medically indicated. On top of that, by waiting for the helicopter on such a short haul patient care is actually delayed! Plain and simply greed. In the low income rural area where I am based there is a growing dislike of our service because of the HUGE bills and unnecessary flights.

Pros

I cant recall there ever being any Pros.

Cons

After a while, you too will lack any sense of surprise. No bonuses, No pay, on occasion, and no hope. Finance Dept accidentally overpaid into many employee's 401k, once they discovered the problem, they snatched the money back along with whatever earnings were accrued, without employee consent. (ILLEGAL) The pay system has misdeposited employees pay into random bank accounts, several times, after employee called payroll, the employee was accused of theft. FAA regs are used as threats against personnel who are not management, once that level is achieved, the regs are used as punch lines. EVERYONE HATES WORKING HERE.
