Business Outlook

Pros

Clinical standards and training. 21st century medicine and procedures. Great Base locations. Safety is respected.

Cons

20th Century aircraft. Management is disconnected from flight personnel. Pay is average at best, with no work/life balance. No money is invested in this company to make it better. Sign-on bonuses are needed to recruit but can't maintain current staff due to no retention. Everything has a string attached in an attempt to make you stay or pay. Sadly, safety is respected but not guaranteed. PHI touts their safety record, but they've only been lucky to this point. There is an immense pressure to fly, as base supervisors are paid based off of key performance indicators. This allows poor and inexperienced clinicians and mechanics to flood the workplace. This company is destined to fail if they continue to follow the same path.

Worst HAA Company in the Industry Hands Down…STAY AWAY!!!

Helicopter pilot

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
