Pros

Great company culture, some really good honeat hard working sincere people in lower management who care about their groups and their job. They have some great directives but everything seems to fall thru just shy of completion. Most employees their seemed to have a positive outlook and enjoyed working at erickson.

Cons

Upper management is too far removed from the worker bees" and are willfully ignorant to that side of the company. Acquiring Evergreen was an anchor and hinders Aircrane operations and the entire company. Everyone knows it. Upper management is a bit top heavy while low pay scales are held at the hourly range, continual layoffs causing low morale, distrust and animosity toward upper management.

Pros

The down sizing has helped young employees like myself take on more responsibilities and learn a lot really fast. Doing it for the 'resume bullet' not the pay. Its fun tho..co workers are great.

Cons

Just like every company I've ever worked for..they just use and abuse young people because they can and not pay them what they are worth. EVERYONE at lower management is just too over worked. The moral is low. Nothing seems to get done. They are still trying to blend Aircrane and Evergreen Ops. Its still messy.
