Pros
The company has good 401K matching; they offer a lot of benefits but you do have to pay for them (and they are somewhat expensive). In the role of Area Manager, you will be exposed to several business enterprise platforms (Coupa, Power BI, Adaptive, and UKG are the big ones) to help you complete your work processes.
Cons
A lot of tedious tasks are dumped on Area Managers. The job is all management, no leadership. The Area Manager is focused on keeping bases 'in-service' so the helicopters and crews can complete their mission; however, there are no assets to help drive this KPI due to shortages of resources (shortages of pilots, mechanics, and clinical staff; very few spare aircraft available, hit-or-miss supply system, etc.). The company is also facing stiff headwinds due to the No-surprise Act that Congress passed in early 2022. At the time of writing this, the company is in a hiring freeze and has closed 17 bases in the midwest--I would imagine more contraction in 2023.
