Great mission, no confidence

Pros

Erickson has a wonderful mission. Pilots out their lives on the line when fighting fires and helping evacuate wounded individuals. There are a lot of ways HR communicates outside events or upcoming enrollments

Cons

Zero, real, transparency from the executive team on status of the company. Rumors fly quickly and gets worse when they aren’t addressed. The quarterly updates from the CEO are usually just a lot of filler words with no real information. Money mismanagement from years ago causes issues now and several RIFs occur within small time periods putting huge strains on employees who do remain and still aren’t given the new direction of the company. Morale is low because employees aren’t getting raises and are worried every day if they will walk into works and be laid off.

Thank you for this detailed review of Erickson, we greatly appreciate any and all feedback from past and current employees, and want to recognize a few pieces you have noted. First, we’d like to thank you for the perspective you have provided on our mission and communication abilities internally. We take great pride as an organization to stay in touch with our employees, as well as make them feel recognized and valued as an employee of Erickson. Secondly, we understand your frustration for the lack of transparency and low morale and we want to ensure that we are working diligently to revive these processes as a team to better equip our employees to feel confident in their employment at Erickson. While COVID-19 has brought unforeseen difficulties for our company, we do see a lot of opportunity for success in the future for Erickson. We hope to have company-wide meetings, in person with our employees, as restrictions have lifted recently, and we feel these events will provide opportunities to ask questions and voice concerns so all employees feel heard. As Erickson continues to grow and lead this industry, we hope our employees, past and present, will see the positive changes and want to continue to support our mission and goals. All the best, Erickson Recruiting

Pros

Kind management and kind employees

Cons

They never give raises, and the company is going bankrupt again - going for a career there is a mistake.
