      Very Poor Leadership, Highly Punitive

      Flight paramedic/nurse

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Cool job, Get to fly in aircraft and take care of sick patients. Pay was decent.

      Cons

      Always flying in the middle of the night. All long term employees go to outlying bases that are slower. Anchorage team is all new employees the goal is to get out of Anchorage. Leadership has been and continues to be terrible. 13+ CEO's. Plays favorites and has "good ol boy culture" Middle management will rule with iron fist. At this point after 10 years I know just as many people that have quit as have been fired. Highly punitive culture will fire you for looking at them wrong. Does not follow "just culture." Ridiculous amount of continuing education that ends up being more checking boxes then actually learning new information. Adult Medical director is weak and put in place a "mother may I ?" system. PTO is terrible.

      It can be a very good resource, can also mark you as worthless

      Emergency medical technician

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Interaction, support of, and training with dedicated co-workers, fellow emergency response workers in the field and flight crews provides valuable knowledge and certifications. Phenomenal teamwork with dedicated co-workers. Communication and organization of emergency response crews is well developed and meticulously maintained. Public service student loan forgiveness eligible. 24-hour shifts provide scheduled overtime pay. Facinating variety of medical cases and hands-on experience. Humor and high ability to adapt to changes/improve operations. Fun community events.

      Cons

      "Ground-crew" is characterized in a disparaging way, despite high preformance compared with similar roles of competitor companies. 24-hour shifts clash with onsite salaried office personnel. Office workers pressure hourly EMS to do office workers jobs in addition to 24-hour emergency response duties. Punitive approach to stretching 24-hour personnel task responsibilities relative to salaried. Office workers lack accountability onsite, and act accordingly. State minimum wage pay for hourly emergency response, positions, with no tips, bonuses, stocks etc. For-profit model, minimal anthropological support built into company model regardless of many tax-deductible opportunities, and eager staff.
