Pros

People are great, work is enjoyable with exception of the chaos

Cons

Management is lost on how to organize and plan, currently understaffed in almost every dept., trying to do too much and won't say no to work even if they don't have the capability to do or capacity to do; causing burn out of the most dedicated. No mentoring

Pros

Strong Reputation and Past Perform as Evergreen; A named recognized within the aviation community. Erickson has the potential to realign to meet the needs of the emerging aviation demand - world wide.

Cons

Sadly there has been no positive traction as a Prime Contractor on any Significant Work in the last 5 Years. Agencies in which Evergreen dominated were the UN, WFP, USAID, & DOD. Unfortunately, Erickson has just recently began to review and restructure the organization to meet the aviation demands. However, Erickson continues to struggle with meeting operational demands of clients. These significant signs are reflected in both turnover of the Director-Level & C-Suite Employees (CEO, Directors of Safety, Sales, and others Replaced ~6mos ago) over the last year and the Down-Trending Stock Price..

Cons

Company leadership is split over creating new market ventures not aligned with the already proven and successful parts of the business.
