Pros

- has good benifits, 401K, medical - wonderful flight crews to work with - some of the other mechanics are fun to work with also you have the opportunity to take manufacturer training classes

Cons

- Air Methods is too big. it started out small and had a close rapport with their employees and fami9lies. but it grew way too big. - it gobbled up many small air ambulance companies, and shoved their company policies down their throats. those small companies cared about their employees. - but once A.M. takes over, and they do take over any interest in its employees withers and dies. employees just become a number - and many of the lower manager just dont seem to have the training t be managers. they promote people to a supervisory position, but too often they dont offer them leadership training

Pros

Only pro was the hiring process which consisted of two interviews and then an offer. That should have been the first red flag.

Cons

Private Equity controlled organization. No onboarding process or training provided. You are sent to their HQ for two days of learning how to turn your computer on and how to open a couple of computer applications. They are looking for a zero to hero hire. Be prepared. Tumultuous with lots of turnover. Was told this was a career-long role and in a couple of short months, the CEO was fired, the VP of sales took off. New executive leadership team created an environment of fear and layoffs. Lots of huge egos and very little tolerance for questioning poor business decisions and strategies. No attention given to the voice of the customer and what would strategically help move the needle. It really gives off the odor of a company trying to be sold.
