Pros

Flight medicine, what can be better, autonomy, good people to work with. Great schedule.

Cons

Employee morale down across the board, some places working with sorely outdated medical equipment and aircraft. Very poor management that seems to falter from the top down. Pay is the biggest complaint, pay for medical crews are the lowest in the industry when compared to private ambulance, hospitals, fire dept etc, it should be the other way around or at least comparable. And 2 letters that don't exist: OT, they do everything they can to get away with not paying you a fair wage.

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.
