      Pros

      Look to other heavy lift operations like Columbia for pros.

      Cons

      Senior management is short on talent and vision. Pay equity doesn't exist. Directors make six figures while the employees who hold the company together struggle.

      Pros

      Great employees working in the field who are what everyone works hard for from Portland/McMinnville. Each employee has keen sense of awareness that they are the face of the Erickson brand for their location. Lots of work in austere conditions.

      Cons

      ZERO FOCUS ON SAFETY. This comes from the CEO on down thru the Senior Leadership team. On paper, it's stated that "Safety is our first priority" however, this really should be bidding and winning contracts. Portland has no idea who their customers are, what they want, what they expect and how to get results safely. Hiring more Sr Directors to Business Development and Sales staff but double and triple job roles/responsibilities to everyone else. Too much overhead for a company that wants to be world-class.

      Pros

      Best people I've worked with outside the military. Consummate professionals that would literally give you the shirt off their back for you. Living and working overseas and you're truly like a family. Fun and challenging places to work. Very transparent as far as the conditions you'll be living in. Flexible rotation work as long as you find coverage.

      Cons

      Field to Corporate disconnect at some degree but with good resources and contacts within the company, it wasn't that bad for me. If you can't deal with the austere, military type environment, the job isn't for you. Rotation work so expect to be gone 60% of the year.
