Pros

A forward looking organization with decent benefits. A great work schedule with ample opportunity for overtime. With the exception of a few older aircraft in the fleet, most of the equipment is very modern with up to date avionics and safety equipment. There are a wide variety of bases to chose from and the company is not against changing a base once you have been with them for a while. The benefits package is decent with a college tuition assistance program. Most of the pilots seem to be prior military aviators with extensive experiance with NVGs.

Cons

The pilots participate in a union where as the medical crewmembers do not. Medical staffs seem to have a high turnover as there are complaints with pay and scheduling. A recent change in payroll processing has caused some turmoil however the bugs are slowly being worked out and HR is quick to work with those who have had problems during the transition.

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.
