Good Company - Minor Regional Differences

Business Outlook

Pros

I have worked here for 4+ years, in various roles, in all regions of the company. The company has a solid corporate culture of safety and clinical quality. Many of the cons that I have seen have been more rooted in the local leadership/management and less on the company as a whole. Pay is competitive for the industry.

Cons

Regional differences in culture can cause poor outlooks. HEMS in general needs to pay more for clinicians, the adage of "you can make more money with OT" is not a sustainable lifestyle long term.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for your years with Air Methods. We’re glad you’ve seen the strength of our safety and clinical culture, and we appreciate your perspective on leadership and regional differences.
