Pros

Love my department and the people I work with!

Cons

Depending on the department, the manager and the morale could be different. It really does depend on which department you work in as employees in other departments are not happy.

Flight Nurse: amazing job, questionable corporate.

Business Outlook

Pros

Huge market share, equipment is fairly new, and medical guidelines while aren't cutting edge, but they are with the times and conservative. Good benefits, average pay. Love my co-workers. Can make a huge difference for patients.

Cons

Local management great, love my base, upper management- well just horrible, disconnected from our job, famous for ridiculous knee-jerk reactions to minor issues. The company has grown way way too fast for its management style. They like to roll out new idea / websites without really working thru issues prior. The corporate is just a mess, I can't speak to what happens there, but from the ground level it is a mess. So much talk, so little actual work or proof from leadership.

Pros

Great job overall. Privilaged to have worked beside some of the best nurses, paramedics, and pilots who put their lives on the line to benefit patients.

Cons

Management cares more about their perceived reputation than they care about their employees. They also claim to adhere to a "Just Culture." But upper management would rather preach than practice.
