Pros

Aircraft maintenance is top notch. The maintenance staff is well compensated and therefore retained in their positions for longer periods. Clinical management and medical education for staff is outstanding.

Cons

New corporate schedule and pay structure has gutted tenured clinical staff. Scheduled work hours per week were increased from 48 to 56 with no corresponding increase in pay. Clinical staff were reclassified as salaried employees and do not receive overtime pay until you have worked 240hrs/month. Mid level managers are concerned with sweeping problems under the rug and provide no mentorship for local (base) manages who are allowed to run amuck. Regional management is absentee landlord. Corporate safety director recently left (or was let go... conflicting information available) under suspicion circumstances. Red flag.

Pros

Lucrative sign-on bonus, plentiful OT. Progressive protocols, involved medical direction. Safety culture is second to none. Well structured new-hire academy and fantastic instructors. Travel positions give amazing opportunity for travel and long stretches of time off. Good work/life balance. Supportive management.

Cons

As is the case industry-wide, Paramedic pay and disparity with nurses needs to be addressed.

Pros

Hmmm??? I have none after 4 years of employment there. Oh wait, Wade Cook. The one pro is that individual doing his best in a company full of crazy!

Cons

So many things. Worst per diem rate in the industry, a whopping $30 a day in 2025. What a joke. Oh wait, they do send you hard, stale, Christmas and July 4th jar with 10 candy pieces in it for the base. Only company requiring the PVT, which is the biggest joke of safety there is. An OCC that doesn’t even know when aircraft are flying. Helicopters that should be condemned. No technological advancements, threw away all the ads-b interfaces with the transponders so had to get sentry’s for each aircraft. Management that doesn’t care about people. Literally, from the top of Q Investments, which is sad because he was a West Pointer and being military as well, evident he missed the classes on Be Know Do Leadership. And the lack of transparency and integrity is soooo lacking. Literally the last week we were informed that the severance package we had been promised for 4 months came with a stipulation that 100% meant it wasn’t going to be offered and then showed how much they truly didn’t care about the people that work there when called out on it.
