Pros

Great company. Just keep to yourself and don’t stir the pot. Training is one of the best.

Cons

Tough pre-test interview. I have a military background so the written test wasn’t too bad. My advice for anyone thinking of being employed as a pilot is to Study study study and review Part 61,91,135. Even if you are applying for a VFR position know your Instrument procedures for an ILS approach, know what u r to do if you have a radio failure, light signals (ridiculous I know), decipher a RAW Metar/TAFS and know what everything in the Remarks section means, know the difference between DA and DH. It’s only 20-25 questions but if u get below an 80 the interview process is over. It’s also not just multiple choice there’s fill in the blanks too. In my opinion many good pilots are turned away from not getting an 80 with questions that are not pertinent to the position that they are applying too. But that’s the companies purogative.

Pros

The leadership is putting a tremendous amount of effort into listening to what employees and new hires value and then implementing the tools needed to meet those wants and needs. It's a very open-door, family atmosphere at headquarters, and the HR department has improved how they get that same feeling to the bases in the field. It's a fun group of people to work with, but the value and emphasis they put on safety is above and beyond. There's never any pressure to fly for pilots, and Metro has pilots' back if there is any pushback from customers. Because it's a private company, there are no shareholders or board members to answer to, which means they can get stuff done a lot quicker.

Cons

Some of the base locations are in less-than-desirable spots, but that's not really Metro's fault. It's where the hospital customers decide to put a helicopter.
