Pros

Pay’s better than average, and since it’s a remote job, you can live wherever you want. You get to keep all the hotel and airline points (about 230 nights in hotels a year). Plus, the health insurance is solid.

Cons

There’s no sick pay. The schedule is 8 days on, 6 off, with 4 set start times—3 of them end pretty late since you’ll be on duty for up to 14 hours a day. Lots of night flying and long nights hanging around FBOs—it kind of comes with the territory (Medevac). We only fly about 20 hours a month, and most flights are short—around 30 minutes—so it’s not great if you're trying to build hours. Moving into the left seat takes a long time and isn’t the easiest process.

Pros

The people, the live saving mission. Being able to work knowing that everything I do directly influences someone's life! I haven't been here long, but so far, all the people I have met have been supportive, the pay is VERY COMPETITIVE and the health benefits are some of the best I've ever had. There's talk about how management has favorites- but that's not my experience- if you are working hard and doing your best, they recognize your efforts, I was called out in a team meeting for doing an awesome job. People who come on here and bad mouth the company, probably just didn't meet the expectations- so do better and good luck! It's the best- or nothing here!

Cons

There are a lot of contractors, I hope I am hired full time soon! The cafeteria closes too early.
