Pros

Excellent clinical training. The tenured crewmembers, what's left of them, are great to work with. The medical directors are approachable, easy to talk to.

Cons

The most dishonest lying backstabbing "managers" I have ever heard of. They have taken a phenomenal company and literally ran it in the ground. It took a little while but they have gotten rid of all of the experienced competent staff. What is left is a bunch of immature, inexperienced people who aren't smart enough to know that they are in a very dangerous position. The company will not have your back, unless they have something to gain. More likely, they will target you in order to make a name for themselves. If walking around with crosshairs on your back isn't enough, then there is the awesome schedule. You are expected, no...demanded, to eat, sleep, live and breathe for PHI. Not your family. If you don't believe it, try to take off. It has to be asked for 6 MONTHS in advance. But no worries, this is way better for your work/life balance. And last, but not least...they will lie like the dogs they are to get their way. Too many eggs and folks looking to cut your throat to better themselves. Good luck

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.
