Pros

Interesting contracts, 6/6 week rotation, pay is ok nothing to brag about.

Cons

They dropped annual retention bonuses and the excellent insurance that they had as former Evergreen Helicopters, which in turn cost me 20-25k more a year in losses. Very clickish, there are the utility pilots and the retired military pilots. If you're not one or the other you will have to deal with the games they play, ie. Scheduling, overtime, advancements, opportunities throughout the company. The utility pilots are worried that they won't have a job if other pilots learn VR. The military pilots seem to think that nobody but them can fly military contracts. That doesn't include the clicks that are formed back at head quarters, it's aviation nobody should have the same job for 20 years, if they suck at it.

Pros

Great people and fulfilling work environment.

Cons

Poor decision-making at the corporate level by executive team that lacks an understanding of part 135 passenger operations. New president is pushing out experienced part 135 employees to hire his buddies. Lose of corporate knowledge is dooming their future. Airworthiness Compliance and Safety team quit en mass last summer-fall due to production/finance pressures eroding flight safety. More key and essential employees quitting this spring.
